โข the relationship between music and poetry;
โข new voices, as well as well-known and distinguished poets, including John Agard (winner of the Queenโs Medal for Poetry, 2012), Kamau Brathwaite, Lorna Goodison, Olive Senior and Derek Walcott;
โข the crucial themes within Caribbean poetry such as inequality, injustice, racism, โotheringโ, hybridity, diaspora and migration;
