Kya Publishing hosts Virtual Book Launch for Bajan Author Wilmont St. Cyr's Latest Novel "The Vault"

On Sunday, May 15, 2022 from 1:30pm to 2:30pm EST, Kya Publishing will support the launch of Bajan author Wilmont St. Cyr's novel THE VAULT with a virtual session moderated by Kenyan author Mutendei Nabutete, with special guest author Andre L. Simpson from Jamaica.

The launch will feature readings and discussions on Caribbean history, culture, and the themes of Wilmont's novel (including folklore, dark tourism, human trafficking, and colonization) in this romantic thriller set from 1812 to 1820.

Registration is free and all are welcome to attend!

The author of two published books, Fields of Death (2015) and The Vault (2021), Wilmont's detailed and historical literary writing style is reflective of his life experience coupled with his passion for knowledge. His works are to be used as a catalyst to not only highlight the stories of Barbados, but also to recognize the influence of his home island both locally and internationally.

Toronto publishing and communications company Kya Publishing will be joining creative forces with Wilmont to present promotional and cultural activities over the upcoming months, and to encourage the international reading and sharing of texts.

To learn more about Wilmont, connect through his Facebook author page, his Instagram account, or online at Amazon.

Author Kamilah Haywood Featured in Myseum Toronto's "Confinement and Contagion" Exhibit

TORONTO, ONT (April 2022) - Toronto author Kamilah Haywood will have their writing featured in the Myseum Intersection 2022 Confinement and Contagion Exhibition, taking place from April 2 through April 13, 2022 at NPC Arts (56 Neilson Drive, Toronto).

This year, Myseum Intersections 2022 features five collaborative projects, with a focus on rediscovering the city, and "deepen[ing] your understanding of people, places, and moments that have shaped Toronto as we know it today," with the free experiences, tours, and events "exploring diverse conversations and perspectives about our city."

Also highlighted within the Exhibition will be "Find Your Voice," a writing workshop facilitated by Kamilah Haywood and Toronto author Glowz (Gloria O'Kaye). "Newly released inmates requiring programming hours are encouraged to sign up. All are welcome, but priority will be given to previously-convicted artists, entertainers, and/or writers."

Co-presented by the FU Project and Kya Publishing, the workshop will guide participants "through the creative writing process to support their individual healing practices and to compose a writing piece that can be included in their portfolios. Participants will have the opportunity to share their work with peers within this private workshop, and can offer constructive and uplifting insight about each other's work to encourage growth in their creative journeys."

This is the seventh year for the annual festival of arts, culture, and community and will feature three exhibitions: Confinement & Contagion, Resistance. Resilience. Revolution., and Etobicoke Stories of Significance.
