TANBOU

—CELEBRATING 30 YEARS OF TANBOU, HAITIAN TRILINGUAL JOURNAL OF POLITICAL AND LITERARY STUDIES —
We proudly mark the 30th anniversary of the publication of our magazine. From the very first printed-on-paper issue, in the spring of 1994, we expressed "an immense pleasure... in the midst of a universe of sorrow and death, to have been able to give birth to a work of life that believes in hope.” We are renewing today that same wish. The fight for a better world spans all generations, with ever more urgency. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, TANBOU/TAMBOUR!
Please check out our newest feature, *The Town Crier / Teledyòl Piblik / Le Crieur Public*, responding to the latest developments in the U.S., Haiti, and the world.

SUPPORT TANBOU: The ending of the year, the advent of winter holidays, the special anniversary issue, and the current challenges to intellectual freedom are good reasons to consider a donation in support of our international efforts.

A new movie produced by local Haitians. Excellent actors and actresses. Let's support Haitian's nascent movie industry.
This Sunday, October 20, at the Strand Theater. I'll be there!

A quick note to say thank you to Régine Roumain, Amisi Nazaire-Hicks, Jasmine Narcisse, and the Center for Fiction for a great event around our anthology "This Land, My Beloved," during which I was able to share my work with a Brooklyn audience. With the participation of great Haitian creators such as Denizé Lauture, Jeanie Bogart, Michèle Voltaire Marcelin, Charlot Lucien, and Steve White on drum, the event was very successful; we honored Haitian literature, holding high, even in this dire historical moment, the flame of resistance and of hope. Kudos to the Haitian Cultural Exchange!

After the reading, some of us attendees (Jeanie, Denizé, Tontongi, Jill Netchinsky, Jasmine Narcisse, rejoined by André Juste, Lynn Hyacinthe, and Anderson Ambroise) went to the restaurant BK9 to savor a delicious meal. We had a wonderful time.

Nous sommes très fiers du lauréat du Prix Goncourt pour la poésie, Louis-Philippe Dalembert, un des poètes contributeurs à notre anthologie trilingue CETTE TERRE, MON AMOUR (2023). On le voit ici (à gauche). Un lecteur exhibe très fièrement la sortie de l'anthologie lors du Salon du livre à Paris le 3 décembre 2023. Nous envoyons nos vives félicitations à Louis-Philippe Dalembert (photo courtoisie Karine Belizar).
