Launched in the midst of the coronavirus ‘lockdown’ period back in April 2020, Bios & Bookmarks was conceived as a way of bringing the Caribbean’s favourite writers of new and award-winning books closer to their local, regional and international audiences. This turned out to be one of our favourite virtual offerings, and is now a regular part of our online programming with recurring seasons.
As the global pandemic continues and we move deeper into our ‘new normal’, we’re reminded of how much words matter; how much language, literature and the expression of ideas help sustain us in difficult and isolating times. Our goal is to allow folks to celebrate Caribbean writing wherever they are in the world.
