THE LITERARY HANG
is a
gathering of men and women of the word in prose, poetry
and drama. It is the most recent production of The
Guyana Cultural Association/ Guyana Folk Festival.
Strictly speaking, it is an off shoot of the annual
Symposium, another of the GUYFOLKFEST events.
The non fiction authors,
poets, novelists and short story authors taking part in
this event hailed from Guyana or have Guyanese
connections. They represent bold attempts to capture the
physical, mental and emotional experiences that define
the Guyanese sense of being. This interrogation of
place, body, spirit and time crosses the boundaries. It
is an exploration and preservation of many voices, many
cultures, many pasts, many presents. It takes stock of
the now and anticipates the future.
Our writers show us the
way. Thank you for participating in this exciting
afternoon of words.
