In the meantime you and your team and regular reviewers are doing significant, commendable, valuable and NEEDED work with CRB. In my opinion, CRB is now the leading review of Caribbean Literature anywhere. Your early stated aim to keep reviews accessible and readable without compromising rigorous criticism has been achieved and must continue. (You remember Dana Gioia's famous essay 'Can poetry matter' in which he calls for what you have done with CRB?) Don't give up. I have already sent your Nov. 10th post to several friends encouraging them to SUBSCRIBE. I'll continue to do so. Our beautiful and more than talented Caribbean is hard ground for the creative spirit for whom the use of our intellect and imagination is the centre of our life, in our own yard. But we of this (Obama) generation must persevere as others have done, for those coming after us. Hold up Editor brother!!!! And I say - SUBSCRIBE! to those reading this.<br/>John Robert Lee, Saint Lucian writer Nicholas
