		<description><![CDATA[Marion Bethel is perhaps The Bahamas' most distinguished poet. We hope her peers will forgive us for saying this, but the fact remains: Marion is the winner of the coveted Casa de las Americas prize (more here) for her very first volume of poetry, Guanahani My Love, and this summer she will see the publication of a second collection of poetry from Peepal Tree Press. It is our pleasure, therefore, to feature Marion Bethel as tongues of the ocean's first Writer on Writers.
