This video was a quick piece I had to put together for my Dynamics of Caribbean Cultures course at University of the West Indies St. Augustine Trinidad. Pardon the imovie edits...still trying to get Final Cut on my new laptop. This video is a response to a rather wordy prompt from my professor... "Since life unfolds temporally and spatially within socio-cultural and geopolitical context, every engagement with a literary text can be read as a cultural engagement. Take this statement and apply to a text of choice." My text of choice, a poem written in 1992 by Merle Collins : Nearly Ten Years Later (for Grenada). Thanks for watching.

It is no wonder that Spanish poet and dramatist Federico García Lorca had yearnings to be a visual artist considering the vivid imagery that saturates his writing. While he began by doodling caricatures of his professors and friends at school in Granada, García Lorca drew throughout his life, exploring new ideas and illustrating his own dramatic works and prose.

Perhaps such scribbles allow us even greater insight into his writings. Federico del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús García Lorca (1898-1936) achieved international recognition as an emblematic member of the Feneration of '27. As a child, he ...
