Trinidad and Tobago-based Guyanese musician, writer and emerging poet Ruth Osman, 42, is poised to publish by mid-year, her first book of over 30 poems she has composed over the years as she continues to explore her creativity.
“I have always been writing poetry as a hobby,” she said. “During the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, I couldn’t meet with my band. I started to use poetry as an outlet to express myself where previously I would have let out in song and music. I was writing like a madwoman over the last two to three years and some of my better poems are going to be in that collection.”
It is to be published by Bamboo Talk Press in Trinidad.
