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.

What inspired you to write this biography of Shake Keane? Is it a first biography of Keane?
The short answer is that Shake’s life contained many elements of a good story: up from humble beginnings in St Vincent, international acclaim in the jazz world, especially in England and Europe of the 1960s; a triumphal return home that went sour because of political machinations, followed quickly by a struggle to survive his last years in New York.
