DR Neal Hall, hailed as the Malcolm X of International Poetry, is special guest at the fourth annual Jamaica Poetry Festival — The International Edition, which takes place next Sunday at the Louise Bennett Garden Theatre in St Andrew.
The author of acclaimed books such as Nigger For Life and Winter’s A Coming Still, Hall is a graduate of Harvard and Cornell universities.
Yasus Afari, founder and chief organiser of the festival, says Hall’s appearance “is of great significance”.
“He is a poet of intellectual passion and artistic significance whose poetry has consistently championed socio-economic and socio-political issues pertinent to social advocacy, of which we are a part, and of which poetry is pivotal,” Afari added.
