New Voices is a collection of the prize-winning and shortlisted
works of the Poet Laureate of Jamaica Prizes for Poetry from 2017
to 2020, selected by Lorna Goodison. The poets featured here are
new and emerging voices in the Jamaican literary landscape. Hailing
from different backgrounds, they engage with a variety of subjects,
public and personal, writing in both Jamaican language and standard
English.From domestic dramas, to a praise song to a simple soup, to
realities of life in Kingston's inner cities, these poems welcome
the reader to step into new and vivid worlds as poets contemplate
issues of place, identity, and universal human experiences of love
and loss. We proudly introduce these new voices - fresh and full of
promise. In the words of respected literary scholar Professor Jahan
Ramazani, ""To read works by such a talented young group of
emerging writers gave me hope for the future of poetry."" Poems by:
