Poets and Passion A Caribbean Literary Lime http://www.york.cuny.edu/events/events/poets-and-passion-a-caribbean-literary-lime Master storyteller of the West Indies Earl Lovelace. Earl Lovelace was born in Toco, Trinidad, and has lived most of his life on the islands of Trinidad and Tobago. His book include While Gods Are Failing, winner of the BP Independence Award, the Caribbean classic The Dragon Can't Dance, and Salt, which won the 1997 Commonwealth Writers Prize. For Is Just a Movie, he has won the Grand Prize for Caribbean Literature by the Regional Council of Guadeloupe.

In the town of Cascadu, Trinidad, the 1970 Black Power rebellion has failed. Sonnyboy, hapless and luckless, is desperate to be recognised as part of the rebellion and forces the uninterested police to arrest him. KingKala, a singer, returns from detention and is sidelined in the calypso tent, his music dated and unfashionable. They now hope to make their name in the movie that is being shot on the island - but that too does not end as expected. And so we follow the townsfolk through their experiments in music, politics, religion and love; as, in their day-to-day adventures - be it a game of cricket, the short life of a corner shop or a miracle at a funeral - they begin to see more clearly what their community has to offer for its liberation. Sad and uplifting, humorous but never mocking, "Is Just a Movie" is a warm, gentle novel about small moments of magic in ordinary life.

This inaugural global health symposium will serve as an exposé on the development of Global Health and its definition and will focus specifically on today’s emerging global health implications of the H1N1 influenza virus. Participants will learn about the influenza virus and gain information and insight into current concepts in global health and how they might join the quest for improved health care for all the inhabitants of the planet. The H1N1 virus represents a potentially significant threat to human health and provides an excellent example for students of health care to model their impressions of how to view health care and how they fit into the process.
