I bookmarked the page and that lap top crashed and I have trying to find this ever since, searching various related terms, but nothing popped up on google. Then today I googled Caribbean winter poems and your post Nature by HD Carberry came up, I clicked and said yes! this is the site with the list of Caribbean poets I have been looking for.

Quick questions: 1) do you have the full names of these three poets that you suggested? I think it would be great for me to add their real names too so that people can search for them re their bios, other publications, etc. 2)Also, which "Christena" are you referring to? Is she a poet that I have listed already? If you have the full name for her, please let me know and I will make the correction. Thanks again for your input.Yasmin Moraishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01052235256064726816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6027401667607911457.post-68975636219705071962021-04-22T18:02:24.463-04:002021-04-22T18:02:24.463-04:00Wise Wurdz, Richie Innocent, Ras Takura

You are right that there are so many more names to add, and I thank you for letting me know about the ones you mentioned. The list is by no means exhaustive, and I rely on readers to let me know about poets I might not have included. I will definitely check out your blog and try to make contact.

Great attempt and initiative. I hope we can speak at some point. There are so much more names to add, some noteworthy like Anson Gonzalez and Leroy (or LeRoi) Clarke, both from Trinidad & Tobago as well as the upcoming practitioners in the field.

Regarding the translation of poems by Caribbean poets into Bengali, I think that you would have to try to contact individual poets on the list for their permission to translate their poems. I am okay with allowing translation of my personal poems, so feel free to contact me at Lucene35 at yahoo.com if you are interested in translating some of mine. I can't give you permission or speak for the other poets and there will certainly be copyright issues involved. You may google some of the poets to find out their contact information via websites, Facebook, etc. Good luck with your translation project. This is good exposure for Caribbean poetry and poets.

Some days ago i read some Caribbean poems & i liked it very much. So, i want to translate some of the poems in Bengal. If there are no problem, could you please give me some poems (at least 3poems) of each poet listed in your article? I have some collection but that are not enough, only 4 or 5 poet's poems. So, i will be highly pleased if you give me & i think it will be a good work if i complete the translation for my countryside as well as you.<br />Again thanks for your resourceful article.অর্পণদেবhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07320864790532870686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6027401667607911457.post-5863953949905715422011-10-11T22:00:20.029-04:002011-10-11T22:00:20.029-04:00Candace, thanks for your feedback on Tanya Shirley...Candace, thanks for your feedback on Tanya Shirley.
