Barbados Today reports that poet Cyndi Celeste Marshall will “fly the Bajan flag” at the 2021 Women of the World Poetry Slam from April 6 to 10 in Dallas, Texas.
What makes the occasion so unique is that she is the first Barbadian to enter.
The event will see 80 female poets from around the world on stage. The artiste, whose stage name is Cyndi Celeste, is elated to be taking part. “I am just excited to show the American poetry scene what Caribbean people can do with their language. It also feels like quite a bit of pressure and that is because I put a fair set of pressure on myself.”
