High notes to end Bocas Lit Fest evenings
Mervyn Morris -
Despite continued restrictions on gatherings, the 2021 NGC Bocas Lit Fest will stay true to its usual social and cultural evening fare in its 2021 all-virtual festival.
The three festival days – April 23-25 – all close with engaging celebrations of music, Caribbean literature, and prize-winners’ announcements.
After a decade of annual literary celebration, festival-goers have become accustomed to nightly wrap-up sessions fitting of the largest literary festival in the Caribbean, and this year will be no exception, albeit in virtual form, said a media release from the NGC Bocas Lit Fest.

As the global pandemic continues more acute, and more egregiously mishandled, in some locations than others I can only say that I am experiencing a profound exhaustion, and I imagine many of
sx salon’s readers are as well. It is beyond me to behave in a business-as-usual manner even for the duration of this introduction, and I am not going to try. Instead I will invite you, our readers, to consider whether all the forces political cynicism, a profit-over-people orientation, scientific illiteracy and denialism, individualism run amok, and white supremacy that underpin catastrophically failed pandemic responses in some places are also responsible for creating the climate crisis to which the Caribbean is particularly vulnerable; the record-breaking 2020 hurricane season is yet another data point indicating the acceleration of that crisis. If COVID-19 is a harbinger of our climate resilience or lack thereof, the challenges that lie before us are daunting, to say the very least.
