Dear Yvonne,
I am very interested in Una Marson who wrote the play "Pocomania" which
has not been published.  Una Marson directed the first black theatre in
Kingston.  Carolyn Cooper has written on writers of the AFrican Diaspora
and is/was at U of Jamaica in Kingston, but I have tried contacting her
there 
and have had no luck.> I also have a student working on Jamaican orature
and I am wondering if I might give her your e-mail address to encourage
her to participate in this community of scholars.  Thank you,

Mary Keller, Ph.D. Candidate
