Description
Girl School by Jamaican author Rhea Manley presents a sequence of eleven poems from a larger book in progress. Selected as a 2024/25 Bocas Breakthrough Fellow, Manley wrote these poems during her fellowship term, which included mentoring by poet Olive Senior.
The Bocas Breakthrough Fellowships were awarded in 2024 to five early-career Caribbean writers, to support them in advancing or completing a debut book of fiction or poetry.
The Bocas Breakthrough Fellowships were funded by Creative Caribbean, a joint project implemented by UNESCO, the CARICOM Secretariat, and The University of the West Indies (UWI), with funding from the European Union and the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States, under the ACP-EU 11th EDF Culture Programme.
