Poets of the Caribbean is Ten Years Old!

Poets of the Caribbean turns 10 years old this month, so happy anniversary! When I decided to create this blog ten years ago, I could not have imagined the reach it would have, and that it would last ten years. So, in this post, I want to thank all my readers for your support over these ten years - faithfully checking in on the blog, and leaving your comments and suggestions, even during those periods of lull when the demands of time, plus writer's block prevented postings. Thank you for your continued interest in Caribbean poetry. It is because of you that I keep sharing beautiful poems from amazingly talented Caribbean poets.

So, on this 10th anniversary, I thought I would share the top 10 countries, based on my stats,that really dig Caribbean poetry, and also the top 10 posts that somehow seem to resonate with readers. I was pleasantly surprised that the poems of the darling of Jamaican culture, and tireless promoter of the Jamaican dialect, the late Louise Bennett Coverly (Miss Lou), made the top 10. Regarding the top 10 countries, I must say that I was a bit surprised that only 2 Caribbean countries, Jamaica and Trinidad, made the list. So, to my Jamaican and Trini readers, thanks!
