If you’re not in the Caribbean, but in the heart of the Caribbean diaspora in Brooklyn, you can still get a taste of the region’s literary scene. The Caribbean Cultural Theater is hosting Word! A Caribbean Book Fest June 8th in Crown Heights, featuring activities for all ages and inclinations, from industry seminars to a poetry slam, all to celebrate Caribbean American Heritage Month. The festival is unique in its commitment to representing all of the official languages of the region (Dutch, English, French, Spanish), as well as its many dialects.
