About this listen

Seven literary love stories set in Jamaica and infused with the seductive beauty of the island.

Lovers Rock stars Jamaica: its language, its landscape, its vibe, its humor, its edge and its persistent, dogged beauty. These seven stories imagine strange, quirky, familiar and delicious encounters between people in search of romantic love in the twenty-first century. Featuring characters from of all walks of life, each story is connected by the unique vibe of Jamaican desire. Consider the tempo and swoop of Bob Marley’s "Stir It Up" for a taste of what this collection offers, a flavor that infuses these beautifully written love stories generated by some of Jamaica's most gifted literary writers working today. This is the perfect escape, a story whispered in your ear that transports you to places you've once visited and new vistas.

Lovers Rock was curated and edited by Emmy Award winning poet and writer, Kwame Dawes, in partnership with the esteemed Calabash International Literary Festival.

The first story made me want to immediately book a flight to Jamaica again. It's a feel-good story about finding love again. It also celebrates many of the great things about the Jamaican culture, as do all the other stories in this book. It was a good read.
