Q & A

Tell us about your work in the Love is Color Anthology.

I submitted two Haiku poems under the title, The Softness of Light.

Who or what inspired the work(s)?

Initially, I wrote the poems for World Haiku Day a few years ago. The theme was ‘Light’.

What writer, poet or artist inspires you the most and why?

Octavia E. Butler inspires me the most because I consider her the Queen of Science Fiction and she is my role model for the genre in which I write. I love how she couches complex themes and issues in simple language.

What’s next for you?

I’m writing my first novel, a speculative fiction tale with elements of magical realism drawn from Jamaican folklore.

Where can readers find your work?

The Gold Anthology via the Pelican Publishers website.
