Musings in a Tea Shop: An anthology by Poetry and Prose Open Mic

When Caribbean people get together it is never boring. Pull up a chair and sit at the kitchen table with 21 unique voices. This collection reflects the individual voice of each author within.

Revisit classic Caribbean ole-time days with original stories. Hear A Father's Advice. Listen to some Robber Talk. Explore stories based in a futuristic AI setting. Read touching pieces on social issues, words soaked in culture like fruit in cherry brandy.

Poems filled with vibrant imagery touching on topics ranging from love and heartbreak to culture, art and death. A Trinidadian's insight to having Venezuelan migrants as neighbours. A poet's take on ageing. Social injustices brought to light. A glimpse of a Hindu funeral capturing touching traditions steeped in the universality of grief.

Musings in a Tea Shop is an eclectic collection of poetry and short stories reflecting the diverse members of Poetry and Prose Open Mic.
