IN THE YEAR 1890:
The renowned writer and poet Claude McKay was born in Jamaica on September 15, 1890. He moved to the US in 1912, and lived in Morocco for several months in 1928, and again from 1930 to 1934. He wrote quite a few of his books there, in addition to essays, poems and short stories about that country.
Founding editor of Calabash Jacqueline Bishop says: “I have even come across an important group of letters he wrote from Morocco,” she added. “Yet, he was virtually unknown in Morocco and, indeed, the people who knew of him did not know that he lived and wrote in Morocco, a country he loved so much!”
