What inspires him to write? “Writing allows me to take a deeper look at the meaning of things …”. Peter started writing seriously in 1999 after he attended a VOICES: Barbados Writers’ Collective session at the Museum. “It offered me the opportunity to share what I write.” His audiences anticipate something fresh from his pithy, short stories and poetry. As one of the victorious “Love Men” for VOICES annual Valentine’s competition, Peter’s poetry also focuses on matters of the heart. AWARDS/WRITING EXPERIENCE: Peter has performed at many open mic stages including VOICES and the National Cultural Foundation’s READ-IN! programmes, Interludes (at the Waterfront Café), Rhapsody (at Casuarina Beach Club) and Poetry Under the Stars. As a literary artist he was one of the featured storytellers for VOICES in 2000 and a guest artist at NIFCA 2001 Performing Arts Semi-Finals. He has also performed at the Oistins Fish Festival. One of his short stories was published in the Nation newspaper in 2000. © All rights reserved.
