The Caribbean Studies Association invites members attending the 2018 Conference to present written, original creative work or oral, dramatic performances as part of the conference’s Literary Salon, which aims to foster ways to increase the presence of the least heard voices in the academic world. Original creative work includes, but is not limited to, poetry, short fiction, short creative non-fiction, an excerpt from a longer piece.
