Sad to hear of the death of #JeanBintaBreeze - she was a one off -a tour de force. I remember hearing her read Riddym Ravings back in 1989 at a Caribbean Writers Conf, it changed my life - go well sweet sister into the dark and the light xxx ‘me waan go a country go look mango’ .

Great range of papers at the @KayConference today! Honoured to be a part of it and absolutely delighted to have @JackieKayPoet read a selection of poetry and prose and talk with us afterwards! Touched by how authentic and genuine the discussion turned out. So much to think about!
