Poets of the Caribbean is Three Years Old

Dear Readers,

Poets of the Caribbean is three years old this month! Thank you, thank you, thank you for your interest, comments and participation in past giveaways.

My main reasons for launching this blog were to highlight the works and achievements of Caribbean poets and to share beautiful Caribbean poems with the world. From your comments and my blog statistics, I  am pleased with the level of interest there is in Caribbean poetry. Here are some interesting facts I have unearthed from my statistics over the past three years:

  • 71,378 page views so far
  • Most popular post is the poem, Rainy Day, by Louise Bennett
  • The top ten countries viewing the blog, in order, are the United States, Jamaica, United Kingdom, France, Canada, Germany, Indonesia, Trinidad & Tobago, Belize, and Russia
  • To date, I have compiled a list of over 200 poets from the English, Spanish, French and Dutch-speaking Caribbean, and this list is by no means complete
I appreciate your interest in beautiful Caribbean poetry, and I look forward to sharing more with you. Stay tuned throughout the month.....
