Issue 123

The title of this issue is taken from Kei Miller’s essay, ‘The Texture of fiction’, in which he says, ‘sometimes Caribbean logic is its own’. Alongside poetry and prose from leading Caribbean writers, thought-provoking articles on film, Cuba, and the Scots-Caribbean relationship, plus ‘Idrens and Idols: Images of Self-identity in Jamaica’ – photographs by Opal Palmer Adisa.
