National Biennial - Art in diverse glory
MORE THAN 200 pieces of work make this year's National Biennial the biggest since the show started out as the Annual National Exhibition in 1977. Launched last Sunday at the National Gallery of Jamaica (NGJ), the exhibition remains the premier event of its kind on the local scene.
Island Expressions - gifted artists on show
JEFFERY SAMUELS has never had a solo showing of his art, neither has Damion Cunningham. But, last month at the Tryall Club's Island Expressions exhibition, the work of these artists stood out.

Yet, I ducked, not a sitting duck as I am, but a standing duck.
Book review - Jolly tales of times past
EASTON LEE'S Run Big Fraid ... and other village stories packs 34 short, mostly funny tales into its 237 pages which, by nature of their historical setting (the 1938 labour riots and World War II are mentioned), harken back to Jamaica 70 to 90 years ago.

NANKO DIPPED his spoon into the bowl of cornmeal porridge and took up another spoonful. He ate it and then put some more ackee and saltfish on to the hard-dough bread. He made a sandwich with it and bit off a huge piece. Their cornmeal porridge was made of grated corn with coconut milk.
Book review - Unearthing Jewish legacy in Jamaica
THOSE OF literary bent will immediately recognise the title of this splendid book as coming from the distinguished English poet Thomas Grey's Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard, 'The curfew tolls the knell of parting day.'
