WomanSpeak, A Journal of Writing and Art by Caribbean Women, Vol. 9 2018

Book excerpt: Volume 9 of "WomanSpeak Journal of Writing and Art by Caribbean Women" is a collection of new creative work by nineteen women writers and artists in and of the Caribbean. This is a slim volume of poetry, short stories, fairy tales, essays and art that every island woman writer should have on her book shelf. This anthology includes writing by internationally recognized authors, rising stars, award winners, and new voices publishing for the first time. The writers conjure myths and fairy tales for our generation, evoke ancient goddesses, sing praises for our grandmothers and island women who've survived the hurricanes; as if to say to another in turn, I will tell you a story, I will tell you what happened, I will tell you what I dreamed, I will tell you what I remember, I will tell you what I imagine.
