Woman in the Wind is a collection of poems that celebrate and shine a spotlight on global women influencers, weaving tales of heroines from the vibrant activism of Greta Thunberg to the enduring legacy of Winnie Mandela and Louise Bennett Coverley. Covering a wide spectrum of women's experiences—be it in politics, environmental justice, arts, or community activism—the collection is a tapestry of stories of women who have marked the world in myriad ways.
Staring Into My Soul is the long awaited, first poetry collection from Jamaican journalist and poet, Curtis Myrie. Inspired by the global legacy of Dr. Louise “Miss Lou” Bennett-Coverley and shaped by the spoken word traditions of dub poets like Mikey Smith and Mutabaruka, Myrie’s poetry is a call to resistance, reverence, and the baring of raw emotion. A celebration of Jamaica Nation Language and an embodiment of cultural defiance and resilience, the verses echo the spirit of Rastafarian wisdom and the struggles of the Everyman. Myrie paints a vivid portrait of life marked by political strife, cultural pride, and personal introspection. A voice at once lyrical and unyielding, Myrie’s rhythmic truth-telling helps us rise above the chaos.
