Hello, Desmond--I wanted to thank you for your post about "Nation language" of a couple of weeks ago, to which I didn't respond then because of having to go out of town (and offline). I'd love to know more about this--and about this "Dub Poetry Genre" too--if you'd be willing to elaborate on one or both, front- or back-channel. Thanks--Candice P.S. I've got a poem forthcoming in the Sept. (music) issue of _Stand_ that's written in what I think of as "reggae syntax," including quotes from/allusions to some of The Profet's songs, but this was a wholly autodidactic effort on my part, hence my request for more information (read: real education!) from you. >Hi Nate and Jane Dorward, > >I would be very happy to help you with your notes on Linton Kwesi Johnson >and Jean Binta Breeze. As you are doubtless aware both poets write in the >Dub Poetry Genre - A Genre I admire.
