Fawzia Kane's first collection Tantie Diablesse was recently longlisted for the OCM Bocas Prize for Caribbean Literature. Fawzia was born in San Fernando, Trinidad and Tobago, at the cusp of the country's changeover from colony to independence. She came to the UK on a scholarship to study architecture. She began writing poems in earnest around 10 years ago after attending Arvon and Poetry School courses, considering Mimi Khalvati's Versification course 'life changing.' Her work has been published in several magazines, including Poetry Wales, Poetry London and the Rialto. In 2003, she was one of the featured poets of the Poetry School anthology, Entering the Tapestry (Enitharmon).
