Bookmarked: New Caribbean Writing
Praise & Reviews | [−] |
"Bookmarked is a superbly innovative and resonant collection of stories in fiction, poetry, essay and visual art. Stories that take the old plantation anguish and show it new. Stories that carry us wide across the globe that we inhabit and that inhabits us: the internet, social media, the in-between of America, England, China, Africa and each familiar changing rock called island. Stories that make us laugh and cry and say yes, yes, in affirmation, acknowledgment and fresh wonder. Stories of now. In the lineage of the literary magazines that launched West Indian writers of the previous century, Bookmarked is not a renaissance but the ongoing fecundity of Caribbean literary art, a moveable feast of truly extraordinary power and delight here transcribed for print lovers and those who love to feel the texture of magic between their hands."
—Curdella Forbes, Hurston/Wright Legacy Award-winning author of A Tall History of Sugar
"PREE has become the literary platform the Caribbean didn't realize it was in desperate need of, and on its stage are all the future stars of fiction, non-fiction and poetry. If you want to know where Caribbean literature is heading, look at PREE."
—Kei Miller, Forward Prize-winning author of The Cartographer Tries to Map A Way to Zion
"Years from now, when literature starts looking for turning points, paradigm shifts and game changers, they will look at PREE as the lightning strike that kickstarted 21st-century Caribbean letters. More than a literary magazine or creative space, PREE is our most vital argument that art is worth fighting for, and fighting over."
