The Guyana Prize for Lit­er­a­ture in as­so­ci­a­tion with the his­toric Moray House Trust and the Min­istry of Cul­ture/ Gov­ern­ment of Guyana will host read­ings from the book LiTTscapes–Land­scapes of Fic­tion from Trinidad and To­ba­go by lo­cal au­thor Dr Kris Ram­per­sad.

The event dubbed LiT­Tribute II–LiT­Tur­gy to the Main­land takes place on Feb­ru­ary 15, at Moray House, the her­itage build­ing in George­town, Guyana. It's a pop­u­lar venue for many of George­town's cul­tur­al ac­tiv­i­ties. The event will fea­ture drama­tised read­ings and per­for­mances and trib­utes to Caribbean writ­ers from the Guyana The­atre Guild and oth­er icons.

LiT­Tur­gy to the Main­land fol­lows on the re­cent LiT­Tribute to the Re­pub­lic of Trinidad and To­ba­go, host­ed by Dr Jean Ramjohn Richards, the wife of T&T's Pres­i­dent George Maxwell Richards and Dr Ram­per­sad at the 19th cen­tu­ry-styled Knowsley Build­ing, Port-of-Spain, in Sep­tem­ber.

Asked about the im­mi­nent read­ing, Ram­per­sad, a jour­nal­ist and ed­u­ca­tor in Caribbean cul­ture, said, "I am thrilled the Guyana Prize for Lit­er­a­ture and the Moray House Trust have ini­ti­at­ed this as it mesh­es with the vi­sion and en­er­gies that forged LiTTscapes to con­nect the Caribbean and stim­u­late ap­pre­ci­a­tion of her­itage and cul­ture through lit­er­ary and re­lat­ed arts."
