Beyond Sangre Grande—September
2011
Caribbean literature has always been exciting and diverse,
including over the past decades some of the world’s most
regarded writers. Beyond Sangre Grande: Caribbean Writing Today
brings together a contemporary selection from key poets and
fiction writers living in Canada, the US, the UK, and the
Caribbean itself. Fusing creole and other cultural streams from
a changing world, these writers capture the cadences and rhythms
of the Caribbean while admitting other influences to demonstrate
the vigour and vitality of Caribbean writing today. Whether in
the poetry of Kamau Brathwaite, Nobel Laureate Derek Walcott,
David Dabydeen, Dionne Brand, or in the fiction of Shani Mootoo,
Austin Clarke, or Elizabeth Nunez, this remarkable collection
represents a range of writing that constitutes the rich tapestry
of Caribbean literature in new and exciting ways!
