I could tell you of true love, but…

and vein ridged hands, she knew the house
and farmlands he owned were worth sacrificing
any harboured thoughts of love
Corrine Binnings, a Jamaican poet and teacher, recently completed the MFA Creative Writing (Poetry) program at Florida Atlantic University (FAU). She seeks, simply, to write what the tongue finds too heavy to say and by doing so ease unspoken burdens. Her writing focuses on historical and social issues prevalent in Jamaican/Caribbean society. Corrine is currently fine tuning on her manuscript, Residue. She has published both Poetry and Creative Nonfiction or has work forthcoming in the Dark River Review journal, Brine and The Caribbean Writer, among others.
