Vladimir Lucien enthralls CHS Literature girls
On Thursday 6th October, the fourth and fifth form morning literature classes, accompanied by our teacher, Mrs Daria Sorhaindo, went to the University of the West Indies (UWI), Open Campus to listen to an interactive and rather interesting lecture by Vladimir Lucien. Lucien is a writer, poet, critic and actor from St. Lucia. His poems and stories have been featured in many books including Wasafiri. Today, he is well known for his newest book ‘Sounding Ground’ which features his intelligent, deep and musically tinted poems.
Lucien began his interactive lecture speaking about what he does, feel and hopes to achieve whenever he writes. He said that when writing he thinks of how readers will react, he thinks of what mood is being set and what point or points he is trying to bring out. Throughout the session Lucien read many of his poems from his book ‘Sounding Ground’. The students got a chance to listen to very heartwarming, and emotion poems, as well as, funny and joyous ones. Within every one, they could feel the tension and could relate quite well to them. Lucien’s poems were mixed with West Indian dialect which brought a better and deeper understanding in every poem. There were certain sentiments that dialect and language released.
