bright blessings from the Bahamas. i am editor of the womanspeak journal, a tiny but growing journal of fine literature and art by Caribbean women. I am seeking poetry, fiction, myth and lore, art and photographs by Caribbean women (and women of caribbean descent, and women whose work is caribbean focused,) for the oct 2011 issue. the theme for this issue is: "Women Writing to Heal the Earth." I am especially seeking work by Amerindian women of the Caribbean, who have much to teach us about how to live in harmony with our Mother Earth. please extend this invitation to your community, tell them we look forward to hearing their voices. please send all submissions to lynnsweeting@gmail.com.
many thanks,
Lynn Sweeting
