Tales of Root, Silk & Bone

Tales of Root, Silk & Bone is a collaborative book of 50+ Trinis that takes you on a trek through Trinidad: From the northern hills of Paramin to the southern shores of Moruga. It explores our histories (Root), folklore (Silk), and peoples (Bone) through art, photography, poetry, short stories… and their own experiences.

This book is a 330 full-colour pages journey curated by ᛝBritt to really show off all of Trinidad’s charms and quirks, to share the stories of Trinis, and to touch the untouchable: the essence of what it means to grow up surrounded by our rich and vibrant culture.

Each page offers something different from our 50+ contributors, from personal experiences telling the tales of folklore, traditional mas, or stories of our First People’s, to breathtaking photography, vivid art, and into the imagination with poetry and short stories.

The reader can dive in cover to cover, or just open on a random page and take in what is shown there.

So venture with me…into the forests, the dark, and the in-between.
