Birdshooting is a project that arrives in the world through the spirit of collaboration. Primary filming took place in Bellfield, Manchester on Labor Day May 25,2026.

The poem itself explores how we can shoot birds in a non-lethal fashion rather than in a destructive manner. It challenges us to question how we interact with these beautiful creatures in our environment. It also arrives at a critical moment as Bird Shooting Season officially opens on Saturday August 22,2026.

On March 21,2026 (World Poetry Day) the poem "Birdshooting" received a second place award from the National Library Of Jamaica in the Louise Bennett Coverly Prize category of their Poet Laureate competition. National Library of Jamaica

Konte was a fabulous immersion in our rich Jamaican folktales and poetry.
The Jaiku Team and I had the pleasure of being in the company of so many talented and wonderful people. The space was bubbling with stories and exciting discussions about our literary landscape and just life in general. A grand time was most certainly had.

Phenomenal wordsmith and Jaiku Co-founder Kacy Garvey .garvey delivered a diverse mix of poetry rooted in her Caribbean identity and so did our beloved Aunty Amina as she delved into Anancy stories that force one to really pause and think on life. Their storytelling and poetry was elevated with the music of multi-instrumentalist M'Bala Mgabo.
What illuminated tales we're unearthed under the Lignum Vitae tree.

We look forward to more occasions where we can strengthen our relationships with France and other nations while showcasing and celebrating our rich cultural heritage and stories.

Friday night was an adventure for the books. Poetry always takes me on interesting journeys.

I went to Johns Town to celebrate and chant with Tanisha Bent and her family in her backyard. I had the honor of trodding road and trading tales with Malachi Dermot Smith and my namesake Osheen Wright.

We we're joined in rhythm by my Jaiku Poetry co-founder .garvey Kacy Garvey and Ras Takura among several other sensational wordsmiths.

The bonfire upon which we roasted marshmallows was hot but couldn't match the intensity of what we dropped on the mic.

Big up champion poetess and MC Tanisha Bent everytime!

This is my second week in a row being at Belair School. Last week, I played a part in their High School's STEAM Career Day activities as a poet. This week, I had the immense pleasure of reading for the students f their Grade 3 Prep School class.

As part of Read Across 📚 Jamaica 🇯🇲 Day activities, I was invited to read "Bre'r Anancy and the Magic Pot" written by V. Steve Russell and published by Brer Anancy Press. .

The students and I had an absolute blast unearthing this hilarious and colorful Anancy tale. They we're very curious, excited and engaged and I matched their energy with passionate and animated delivery to make our interaction fun.

Huge thanks to Steve Russell of Brer Anancy Press and Ms. Georgina Brown of Belair Prepatory for facilitating this fantastic opportunity which empowered me to spend time with our country's brilliant young people. This was my first time participating in Read Across Jamaica Day and it certainly won't be the last!

April 26,2026
"Birdshooting" Studio Session

From ideation to creation. Such is the magical alchemy of artistry. I give maximum respect and thanks to the impressively talented and accomplished creatives I have the honor of collaborating with along this journey.

It is indeed a joy to craft word, power and sound with O'Maro Bekelé and Massy The Creator Michael Massy Dacosta . Much gratitude to my Jaiku Poetry brother Delbert-Inkaz VybNation Cespedes for the support of documenting the session and adding invaluable input to help elevate the expression and message that shall soon grace the world.

The journey of a poem doesn't have to end with the period at the lower corner of the page. This piece shall take three-dimensional shape and find itself beckoned on stages. I'm excited to share the evolution of the work with you all. Stay tuned!
