Last week, I was privileged enough to read my work alongside other Caribbean writers at the 2016 Caribbean Studies Association conference in Haiti. I’m sharing a recording of the reading here. I read from my series, Rainy Season and the following day I was privileged enough to experience rain in Port au Prince. The writers, institutional affiliations and descriptions of their work are listed below in order of appearance.
