Through The Looking Glass presented by the Brooklyn Caribbean Literary Festival and the Center for Fiction.
Join Caribbean-born, global legends Lorna Goodison from Jamaica, Esmeralda Santiago from Puerto Rico, and Barbara Jenkins of Trinidad & Tobago - natural-born storytellers, who as emigrants keenly observed the world around them with insight, grace, and sharpness, reflecting a deep connection to the cultures, countries and indigenous stories that flowed from their memories to the tips of their pens. Santiago, author of When I Was Puerto Rican, Jenkins, author of The Stranger Who Was Myself, and Jamaican Poet Laureate Goodison, author of From Harvey River, are joined by moderator Lauren Francis-Sharma (Book of the Little Axe).
* Festival program will be followed by a half-hour book signing starting at 3 PM at Signing Table E
Each program is 50 minutes long, free to the public, but you must line up early. First come, first served.
