The latest issue of the web journal Calabash is now online, dear readers (or at least I’ve just noticed it’s online). It opens with a tribute to Wayne Brown, the Trinidadian writer who has run an influential writing workshop in Jamaica for much of the last decade. The Calabash editors have collected stories and poems by fourteen emerging Jamaican writers who have passed through Brown’s workshop. Also in this issue: an essay on “Illness and the Writing Process” by Myriam J.A. Chancy, interviews with Opal Palmer Adisa and Kwame Dawes, and a selection of other new poetry and fiction from across the Caribbean. (Note: each piece is posted as a PDF, which you must download in order to read.)
