Tamara Lowe, a poet from the Eastern Caribbean island of Dominica, kicked off the annual Bocas Lit Fest on Friday, April 23, in Trinidad, with her poem тАЬTo You Who Love Him.тАЭ She was the first in a packed lineup of Regional authors, poets and spoken word artists to perform at the 2021 staging of the annual three-day event presented by the National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago. тАЬThis is so surreal for me,тАЭ says Lowe, who made her Festival debut this year and was encouraged to enter by Dominican author/poet and 2020 Bocas participant Celia Sorhaindo. тАЬI submitted the poem with no real expectations and to be selected, and then to participate тАУ it is just a great feeling. I was blown away!┬а I am grateful to the organisers of the Bocas Lit Festival for this amazing opportunity.тАЭ
