Nature Island Literary Festival and Book Fair, Dominica

Nature Island Literary Festival and Book Fair, Dominica
Originally uploaded by TropicallyTied

Last year saw the launch of Dominica's first Literary Festival and Book Fair, an event I thoroughly enjoyed. I was really glad to hear the event was being organised again this year. Hats off to the hard working team headed by Alwin Bully who have put together a comprehensive schedule of events with much reduced resources. We have a wealth of talent on the island, poets, writers and a host of other artists and this is the time to showcase their skills and achievements. It is also a great opportunity for individuals to develop their creative writing talents by attending workshops led by people like Colin Channer, Kwame Dawes, Asha Lovelace and others. Much respect to them for sharing their skills and time with us in Dominica.
The main festival and book fair runs from Friday 7th August until Sunday 9th August in the beautiful grounds of the UWI Open Campus. Workshops run from 5th - 10th August.
