The editors of this series sought out work from writers all over the Commonwealth. Including from right here in Antigua, Joy Lawrence whose The Whirlwind will appear in book 3, Air; and me (Joanne C. Hillhouse) whose poem, Under Pressure, will appear in book 4, Fire. Lawrence reports that her poem dates back to 1996. My poem, Under Pressure, previously appeared in my self-published poetry collection On Becoming which had a very limited, very limited run back in the early aughts (around 2003-ish) so when I received the initial email from Lift Education I thought it was spam. And acted accordingly. But in the end it came together; so it’s all good. Look forward to receiving the books…and I wonder if any other Antiguan and Barbudan writer is featured. If you are hit me up so that I can update your listing on the site.
