It’s a new year, and we’re pleased to unveil a new issue.
I’ve been spoiled over the past year — I’ve had other people to write the editorials for me. And they have written brightly and deeply about literature in our region.
I’m not going to, not tonight. Rather, I’m going to direct your attention to the work we ‘re featuring in this issue: work from places as diverse as India, the Philippines, the USA and any number of Caribbean islands: Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, St. Martin, St. Croix, the Turks and Caicos, and The Bahamas. Pay attention. This issue’s going to be good.
