This site was created on May 19, 2001,
out of the post-elections turmoil in Guyana. Its primary purposes are to highlight
and discuss, and offer ideas and solutions, to the problems in Guyana. Additionally,
it is a site that seeks to highlight the cultures of Guyana and the literary
interests of its owners. It also offers an independent forum to others, especially
Guyanese and West Indians.
We reserve the right to print, or not print any submission.
We will not deny publication merely because the expressed view differs from
ours; indeed we encourage
differing views. We believe in the
maxim "where all men think alike, none thinks at all."
Where we decide
to print, we reserve the right to do so in whole, in part, or or otherwise
edited. Naturally, we strive to print pieces in whole. Where a submission
is not printed in its entirety, we shall always convey
the view of the contributor, and never selectively
print only what we agree with.
We seriously
encourage readers, especially Guyanese to
send your writings; poems,
essays, book reviews, term papers, for possible posting. We neither require
no fee nor make any payments, and the writer shall always have ownership of
his/her piece.
Privacy
Policy
We will not divulge, sell, or otherwise
share personal information of any contributor. We encourage all contributors
to use a name or penname when submitting materials, and will withhold a contributor's
name if such a request is made.
Use
of Material
We credit all for use
of material. If anyone use anything from this site, please cite respectively.
