This is something that I’d rather not think about. I have looked forward to Calabash ever since my first time attending in 2006. The festival gets better every single year and it is a great feeling being around people who share your passion for the written and spoken word.
IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN.
It’s great news that the JA Government has restored funding. Calabash and events like it bring attention to the voices of WI writers.
