READINGS FROM KAMAU BRAITHWAITE’S ESSAY
This year we celebrate the birth of Martin Carter with a look at his poems against the backdrop of contemporary Guyanese and Caribbean writing. In 1981 the late Kamau Brathwaite published an essay in Caliban assessing the metaphysical (elements and stages) in the poetry of Martin Carter. The essay was reprinted 20 years later in Stewart Brown’s collection of essays about Martin,
All are Involved: the art of Martin Carter. Even twenty years on from that reprinting, both Brathwaite’s analysis and Martin’s poems are as fresh and relevant as ever. We warmly invite you to join us as we revisit the thinking of these two Caribbean masters. The event will take the form of (pre-recorded) readings from Brathwaite’s essay with the usual opportunity for conversation afterwards. This session continues the Moray House Trust Samaan Tree Series.
Event: Martin Carter’s Poetry of the Negative Yes.
