Here is an opportunity to discover some of the best new,
unpublished poets from the Caribbean. With a generous sample from
each poet, there are new writers from Jamaica, Trinidad, St Lucia,
St Vincent and Guyana.Meet Danielle Boodoo-Fortune and her richly
gothic take on love and its complications; Danielle Jennings'
exuberant narratives of family history and the struggles for
respect between men and women; Ruel Johnson's often witty attempts
to confront the insanity of contemporary Guyana's race wars and
political corruption through the formal coolness of poetry; Monica
Minott's frank celebrations of women's sexuality and her attempt to
re-enter the world of spirit possession and trance; Debra
Providence's spare womanist reflections that pack a more
devastating punch by saying more with less; Shivanee Ramlochan's
confidently experimental poems that explore the threatening
uncertainties of the present through the imagery of speculative
fictions set in some post-disaster world; Colin Robinson's
polyphonic, modernist reflections on the queer Caribbean and its
joys and sorrows; and Sassy Ross's tightly structured explorations
of memory between the here and there of St Lucia and New York. Here
is a generation that has absorbed Walcott, Brathwaite, Carter and
Lorna Goodison, but has found its own distinctive voices, themes
and formal models.Each of the contributors is well on the way to
having their own first collections.Coming Up Hot is the second
publication of Peekash Press, a joint imprint of Akashic Books and
Peepal Tree Press committed to supporting the emergence of new
Caribbean writing, as part of CaribLit project.
