“Alwin Bully allows us into the attic and cellar of his imagination, where he has stored astonishing histories and legacies. We are all the richer for his generosity, grace, and for the artistic impulse beating at these stories’ heart."

– Colin Channer, Jamaican author, poet, founder of Calabash International Literary Festival
