| Language: | English |
| Topics: | history, Trinidad, poetry |
| Description: | This space will be my notebook as I explore the Black Power February Revolution in Trinidad, 1970. This event is a hidden in history. The historical record surrounding the February Revolution is in many respects incomplete. Even today, there are only speculations about the objectives of such a movement and the success of such. I want to explore the specific time and space and see if I can evoke this experience through my poetry. |

Been Away
I went to Barcelona for a few days last week. It was good to get away and clear the head. I'm moving forward slowly on this collection but I am moving forward and that's the main thing. I should stop thinking of all the outside pressures with regards to this collection and just concentrate on the writing as that's the most important part, right?So no more agonising about the funding, the deadlines, not even thinking about quality. Let's focus a bit on quantity.
