Great Regulars: I guess that's a popular prose writer,

but there's a lot of contemporary poets that are very much well-known by people who say poetry in oral settings and group get togethers, such as Georges Castera, who is one of the most respected contemporary poets. And there's many other poets, such as Bonel Auguste or Syto Cave or James Noel, that you hear their poetry read just as you hear people who read their own poetry, and there is very much a proliferation of poetry in French and in Creole.--Thomas Spear
