Be assured that any information I share are factual and supported by evidence gathered over the last 4 months, some of which date back over a year. This post represents a fraction of the evidence I’ve gathered. Any information shared I am well within my rights as copyright owner of the art, under the 1911 UK copyright act. Due to the nature of the infringement I am also well within my rights to publicly share the details concerning The Andaz (operating as Vista Development Ltd BL30882 in Turks and Caicos) a Hyatt international brand. Also be assured I have also given them the opportunity to settle this and make amends/ at minimum enter into negotiations to which they’ve refused, repeatedly. If you’re reading this and you don’t support the exploitive practices of major corporate/hotel brands tag @knowyourcaribbean and share this post, tag your Turks and Caicos government representatives; as this also speaks to the need for modern policies that protect artists/cultural practitioners. @ andaztcresidences (tag em too since they’ve blocked me from tagging) @hyatt

Looking to get into editorial book reviews? I’ve created a “crash course” page on my website with tips for getting started. I cover everything from pitching to finding the right venues for your work to the editorial process. Reviews are more important than ever right now. With fewer dedicated book sections and shrinking coverage across mainstream media, thoughtful criticism plays a crucial role in helping readers discover new work, especially from small presses and emerging writers. The reality is, we don’t have nearly enough reviewers to meet the moment. If you’ve ever thought about trying it out, you can find more info on my website (link in bio). #bookreviews #writingcommunity #bookstagram #authorcommunity #selenamercuri

In @smallaxeproject salon’s fiftieth issue, Dr. @dr.evan.auguste and I shed light on the life and legacy of the pioneering Haitian psychiatrist Louis Mars, son of the renowned ethnographer Jean Price-Mars. Louis would have coined the term “ethno-psychiatry” on the ground in Haiti in the twentieth century, although his recognition is far from being acknowledged. The new issue also pays tribute to Danielle Legros Georges, another Haitian writer and thinker of distinction who transitioned into an ancestor in February. Scan the QR code or read it here on @smallaxeproject’s bio. If you’re anew to Louis and Danielle’s work, this issue introduced a great deal of information about them and, in other words, took a deep dive into Haiti’s distinguished literary and intellectual community and forms. Let us hear from you. @caribbeanculturefund

⚠️ Work in Progress ⚠️ I’ve been pretty quiet here lately. With everything going on here in Jamaica and in the world, posting on social media feels vain, absurd even. Between school and work, I’ve also felt like I’ve been mostly under a rock this year. The writing life is a slow process and can feel very solitary sometimes, but I realize there were so many sweet moments to be grateful for the last few months. This summer, I: visited Barrinton Watson’s home, got published in @smallaxeproject, met the legendary Lorna Goodison, performed my poetry, witnessed friends launch cool things like @thepalavaproject, turned 30, got interviewed on the radio, finally made it back to mtl, had post-party bagels again, saw dear friends, took in nice art, nyaam mango to my heart’s content, cuddled with my cats, dug deeper with my craft, and so much more that can’t be captured by a carousel of pixels. Excited to see what the last few months of 2025 have in store 😇

[Summer Reading List] RHEA DILLON. We asked friends of House House — writers, editors, artists, designers, curators, and most importantly, readers we admire — what they’re reading this summer. Here’s Rhea Dillon’s list: "My summer reading list consists of a lot of re-reading, cover-to-covering key books, as well as new titles that have just come out. A mix of business and pleasure always. For my exhibition currently up at the Heidelberger Kunstverein, I made a Reader and a Reading Room with a number of key essays/titles that I return to in my artistic practice, so it's been so nice to re-read and share these via the show. I'm also reading a lot of books with friends and interlocutors this summer, which I'm so looking forward to as a change of pace so they've been included in here too." - Palace of the Peacock by Wilson Harris - Seismosis by John Keene & Christopher Stackhouse - The Fold by Gilles Deleuze - The Fold: From Your Body to the Cosmos by Laura U. Marks - Classical Poems by Arab Women: An Anthology, edited by Abdullah Al-Udhari - Poetics of Relation by Édouard Glissant - The Poetry Clinic [https://poetryclinic.org/ & @the_poetry_clinic] - What Moves at the Margin: Selected Nonfiction by Toni Morrison, edited by Carolyn C. Denard - Resistant Forms by Donald Locke - Donald Rodney: a Reader by Donald Rodney - young, dumb, and full of poems by Hasti - Blue Ruin by Hari Kunzru - small axe, Volume 29, Number 1 (76) - African Fractals: Modern Computing and Indigenous Design by Ron Eglash
