JAMAICA 50 A Literary Legacy at Harbourfront Centre

September 19th, 2012 Harbourfront Centre’s Literary Arts department, Authors at Harbourfront Centre

To paraphrase novelist Anais Nin, Jamaica’s history breathes through its literature, cries out with its literature, and sings in its literature. In other words, literature is central to our culture, and we have every need and use for it. The Harbourfront Centre is especially aware of the power invoked by the written word, and celebrates it in the Reading Series, an event that hosts numerous writers with unique literary voices.
