Haiti: The Earthquake, A Poem

This post has many inspirations. I've been in deep thought lately about this trip, about the way I see the world, my future and how poetry ultimately fits into my life.

En Route to Haiti 2: Countering Colonialism

My bags are packed. I'm ready to go! 

I was scheduled to arrive in Port au Prince on Saturday, 4th June, 2016 at 2:58pm. Unfortunately, it's now Monday, 6th June, 2016, 10:04pm and I'm still in Trinidad. I was one of many Caribbean Studies Association attendees leaving from Piarco and booked with Copa Airlines who were denied boarding due to lack of World Health Organization (WHO) International Certification of Vaccination.
