Caribbean book recs (Bocas Lit Fest 2026)

by dragonlord
//
15 books

These books were not chosen by me!! The Bocas Lit Fest is a Trinidad and Tobago based organisation that lifts up literary artists from the Caribbean. I wanted to have this list of books here instead of having to go back to their website when I wanted to reference it and thought that it may be useful to anyone looking for recent releases from Caribbean authors. The winners were: Fiction: Ibis Nonfiction: The Snag: A Mother, a Forest, and Wild Grief Poetry: The World After Rain: Anne’s Poems
