sx salon

sx salon: a small axe literary platform publishes discussion forums, interviews with Caribbean writers, reviews of new publications (creative and scholarly) related to the Caribbean, and short creative pieces by emerging and established Caribbean writers. I began sx salon in 2010 and have served as editor since then. Currently, Vanessa K. Valdés serves as book review editor and Rosamond S. King serves as creative editor.
