5:30pm reception, 6pm program, followed by Q&A (books available for sale & signing)
co-presented with Frequency Writers: A discussion on the intersection of poetry, divine Providence, and Caribbean culture. Writers Colin Channer and Sean Frederick Forbes read and discuss their works of poetry, each deeply rooted in family heritage, place, and Caribbean culture.
In 2015, the two writers, both of Caribbean heritage, released their first books of poetry, Providential (Channer) and Providencia (Forbes). Fittingly, they will come together in Providence to read and delve into the origins of their poems, the duality between colonial British and Spanish influences (socially, politically, historically, and culturally) on the Caribbean, and the meaning of providence.
Thanks to the Brown Bookstore for making books available for sale and signing.
