    1 Bocas Judge’s talk To be given May 4 2019 Marina Warner April 27 2019 The Bocas de Dragon the Mouths of the Dragon, which give this marvellous festival its name evoke for me the primary material of stories, songs, poems in the imagination of things which isn’t available to our physical senses – the beings and creatures – like mermaids, like dragons – which every culture has created and questioned and enjoyed – thrilled to and wondered at. But the word Bocas also calls to our minds the organ through which all the things made by human voices rise from the inner landscapes of our being - by which we survive, breathe, eat, and kiss. Boca in Latin would be os, which also means bone- as Derek Walcott remembers and plays on as he anatomises the word O-mer-os in his poem of that name. Perhaps the double meaning crystallises how, in so many myths and tales, musical instruments - flutes and pipes and lyres - originate from a bone, pierced or strung to play. Nola Hopkinson in the story she read for the Daughters of Africa launch imagined casting a spell with a pipe made from the bone of a black cat. When a bone-mouth begins to give voice – it often tells a story of where it came from and whose body it once belonged to: in a Scottish ballad, to a sister murdered by a sister, her rival for a boy. Bone-mouths speak of knowledge and experience, suffering and love, as do all the writers taking part in this festival and on this splendid short list.

    Glassie, A 2021 Catch and Release: A Review of The Mermaid of Black Conch by Monique Roffey. Anthurium, 17(1): 7, 1–4. DOI: https://doi.org/10.33596/anth.448 REVIEW Catch and Release: A Review of the Mermaid of Black Conch by Monique Roffey Alison Glassie University of Virginia, US [email protected] Review of Monique Roffey,The Mermaid of Black Conch: A Love Story. Peepal Tree Press, 2020. 188 pages. Keywords: Monique Roffey; ocean; mermaids; queer; love story In Monique Roffey’s latest novel, the Costa Award-winning The Mermaid of Black Conch: A Love Story, a thousand-year old Taino mermaid named Aycayia resurfaces to indict the logics of possession and extraction that have shaped the Caribbean since colonial contact. Having swum afoul of a sportfishing derby off the rural island of Black Conch in 1976, Aycayia is hooked—quite literally—by “white men from Florida [who] came to fish for marlin and instead pulled a mermaid out of the sea” (7). The ensuing novel, which follows its eponymous mermaid’s rescue and slow, temporary transformation from “barnacled, seaweed-clotted mer- maid” to womanhood, explores Aycayia’s awakening sexuality and foregrounds the transgressive—perhaps even queer—nature of love itself (7). Subtitled “a love story”, The Mermaid of Black Conch is actually a story about love. This distinction is less semantic than it might initially seem. As the novel juxtaposes relation- ships founded upon power, possession and extraction with the genuine loves and frustrations—erotic and otherwise—of the characters who participate in Aycayia’s rescue and wonder aloud about the curse that binds her to the sea, it suggests, following Angelique Nixon and Antonio Benitez-Rojo, that in queerness of gender, sexuality, and literary form, one finds a Caribbeanness as fluid and expansive as the sea itself.1 The author of six novels, four of which are set in Trinidad and the Caribbean, Roffey is a Senior Lecturer on the MA/MFA in Creative Writing at Manchester Metropolitan University, and a tutor at the Norwich Writers Centre.

I enjoyed doing it and it became the start of the series and exhibition of ‘Landscape Revisited’. The 3 primary colours in one piece is an idea I’ve been exploring since 2006. In this one red predominates in this work: ‘Red Coconut”. My favourite idea in Red Coconut is the green sun/coconut (green being the opposite colour of red).
