This year we celebrated the birth of Martin Carter with a look at his poems against the backdrop of contemporary Guyanese and Caribbean writing. In 1981 the late Kamau Brathwaite published an essay in Caliban assessing the metaphysical (elements and stages) in the poetry of Martin Carter. The essay was reprinted 20 years later in Stewart Brown’s collection of essays about Martin, All are Involved: the art of Martin Carter. Even twenty years on from that reprinting, both Brathwaite’s analysis and Martin’s poems are as fresh and relevant as ever. These are readings from Brathwaite’s essay. This session was part of the Moray House Trust Samaan Tree Series.
