International giants, regional stars, local heroes and self-published unknowns all have their place in this masterful author index from the eastern Caribbean island of Saint Lucia. It also includes those who have written about Saint Lucia and Caribbean writers whose work has influenced the development of Saint Lucian life and literature. It’s a bibliography which, in its all-embracing reach (It includes funeral programmes and recipe books), reflects the creative, cultural, political and economic world of this small island. In bringing Saint Lucia to life, it is a magnificent resource for discovery and research, beyond its most famous son, the Nobel Laureate writer Derek Walcott.

"A magnificent act of scholarship." Professor Alison Donnell, University of East Anglia, UK. "Here you can see everything - the things that didn't last, the things that did, the things that should have but didn't. Here is the heft of a fierce and devoted memory of all of our literature." Vladimir Lucien, poet, Saint Lucia. "This bibliography is an ark. And gratitude is joyfully rendered to its builder." Kendel Hippolyte, poet/playwright, Saint Lucia
