Glad to be back with you after a month-long break to take on the NaNoWriMo challenge, which I was happy to complete.
This month, I would like to highlight the work of poet, Leonard Dabydeen. Leonard has been a faithful supporter of my blog, especially with his thoughtful comments and encouragement. I hope that you will take some time to explore Leonard's poetry, and I am sure he would appreciate your feedback.
Leonard Dabydeen was born in Canje in Berbice County, Guyana, and now resides in Canada. He is a graduate of the University of Guyana, and contributed extensively to the teaching profession in Guyana as teacher, headmaster and lecturer. Leonard won the Freedom House Poetry Prize in Guyana for his early writings.
Watching You: A Collection of Tetractys Poems is his first collection. Here is a review of Leonard's book by Sathya Narayana.
