This new issue, Volume 8/2016, is especially themed, ""Letters to the Granddaughtes: Conjuring the Caribbean Women Writers of the Future."" New work by 27 writers and artists are collected in this new issue, including internationally recognized authors and painters, and some new voices as well. Their works are about love, pain, survival, migration, loss, justice, hope, resistance, transformation, truth-telling, and the importance of remembering and recording the stories of our lives so that the granddaughters, i.e., the coming generations of Caribbean women writers and artists, can take us with them into the future.
