Poet and writer Kwame Dawes travels to Jamaica to explore the experience of people living with HIV...
"Hope's Hospice," a collection of poetry by Kwame Dawes inspired by his Pulitzer Center-sponsored reporting in Jamaica, was called "sublime" in a review by The Jamaica Gleaner. The poetry, which largely handles the impact of AIDs on Jamaican society, is accompanied by photographs by Joshua Cogan. According to The Gleaner, the collection "will jolt you from your slumber and spur you to think, to act" about AIDs "without being preachy."
The poetry from this project has been turned into a multimedia performance art piece that will premiere at the National Black Theater Festival in August.
