Great Bay, St. Martin (August 14, 2012)—Lasana M. Sekou returned here on Monday from Dominica where he participated in the Nature Island Literary Festival and Book Fair in Roseau (8/10-12/12). The festival invited Sekou to read his fictions and poetry; and to conduct the workshop on “How to Get Published” with co-facilitator Dr. Irving Andre, said Alwin Bully, director of the book fair. In photo (L-R, front), authors Elizabeth Nunez (Trinidad/USA), Mervyn Morris (Jamaica), and Sekou listen intently with audience members to a riveting passage about corporal punishment in school from In the Castle of My Skin. The selection was read by the very author of the classic book, George Lamming — who was also the keynote speaker at the opening of Dominica’s successful 5th annual literary festival.
