Barbara Jenkins - I Never Heard Pappy Play the Hawaiian Guitar
Barbara Jenkins, who is no stranger to the literary world, is a special example of there being no singular mould from which all writers emerge and that literary DNA flows through us all. After forging a prestigious career as a high school geography teacher, she found her penchant for the written arts after being convinced to participate in a post-retirement writers’ group.
She has won several prizes from the Bocas Lit Fest, the Commonwealth Short Story Prize (Caribbean Region) twice, the Guyana Prize for Caribbean Literature and the Bloody Scotland-Bocas Lit Fest Crime Writing Prize. This episode's reading, 'I Never Heard Pappy Play The Hawaiian Guitar', is a story from her award-winning debut collection, Sic Transit Wagon and Other Stories, which was published in 2013 by PeepalTree Press. Barbara's memoir, 'The Stranger Who Was Myself' is forthcoming from Peepal Tree in September, 2022
