Bibliography

Winner of the 2011 PEN/Joyce Osterweil Award for Poetry.

Far District explores a journey between worlds: the familiar culture of the rural village, which the poet-speaker feels ambivalent towards, and the world of western learning, the 'luminous sea of myth' that the writer has felt shut out of because of physical and intellectual poverty. As the poet's journey takes him away from home and into the world of books and learning, there comes a new vision of what 'home' might offer  a vision that can be represented through memory and the literary imagination.

""Far District is a marvellous book of generous, giving poems. Not only does this collection travel through an abiding language and far-reaching imagery, but it also transports the reader to a complex psychological terrain through a basic honesty and truthfulness. The leap-frogging of borders is executed with an ease that never fails to engage the reader's mind and body. There's a playfulness here that's contagious and, at times, even outrageous in its breathless insinuation through a biting clarity and directness that would have challenged The Great Sparrow. Hutchinson is a young poet who seems to journey wherever his poems take him, and the reader is blessed to accompany him.""
Yusef Komunyakaa

Ishion Hutchinson received his MFA in Poetry from New York University. His work has appeared in the LA Review, Callaloo, Caribbean Review of Books, Poetry International and the chapbook, Bryan's Bay.

Don't Burn our Bridges: The Case for Caribbean Carriers"" argues that a tourism-dependent region comprised largely of a group of islands must, in its own best interest, retain ownership of key aspects of its air access in spite of the costs and challenges involved in so doing. Air transportation is the glue that cements the tourism market to the destination, but it is also the aerial bridge connecting the territories and peoples of a single market and economy. Often regional airlines are forced to offer a mixture of commercial and social routes, which makes profitability difficult. The social service they provide is critical, however, and public sector shareholders should not measure their return on investment simply in terms of the bottom line. Holder rejects a widely held view that Caribbean governments, should not support their own carriers financially. Instead, he argues that because of their overall contribution to development generally, the air transportation industry should be counted among those companies in the region which are too big (and important) to be allowed to fail. ""Don't Burn Our Bridges"" documents the history of Caribbean airlines and attempts to demystify the complexities of such concepts as deregulation, yield management, hedging of oil prices, fare setting, fuel surcharges and a la carte pricing, while making the point that running successful airlines has defeated some of the world's most brilliant business minds. Holder also explores the impact of the global economic meltdown of 2008-2009 on air transportation and Caribbean tourism, and proposes a way forward for air transportation in the Caribbean community.

Bibliography
Many viable businesses in Jamaica are in need of turnaround from losses and financial distress. This book provides solutions from a new lens  a simple, yet highly effective set of profit pathways developed from a sharp review of international literature and exploration of the business models of Jamaican firms. In Chapter 1, the book explains why business renewal is an urgent need in Jamaica and presents an effective roadmap for firm recovery from organizational decline. Chapters 2 to 6 provide more detailed description of the major sections of the roadmap with relevant real case examples. Chapter 7 recaps the main points and underscores critical implications of the roadmap for managerial decisions and actions. The language is clear and simple with appealing tables and figures where necessary. The book extends existing literature on strategy by integrating findings from prior studies and adding the context of business renewal in a developing Caribbean country. Business managers, consultants, accountants, lawyers, policymakers and students will find the book to be useful reading and reference material.
