How it had meall I wanted was to do
was crawl in a ball
and dead like that
but see me here now,
see me here now,
man must live, iyah,
man must live.
-Kwame Dawes, Live Up
“Hope: Living and Loving with HIV in Jamaica” brings together poetry, essays, documentaries, short video interviews, music, photography and the interactive website LiveHopeLove.com. This project builds on the travels of poet and writer Kwame Dawes who returned to the country of his youth to speak with Jamaicans about the impact HIV has had on them and their country. It is by far the most unique blending of Pulitzer Center coverage of a pressing underreported international issue – this one on America’s doorstep – and diverse media through which the project wishes to reach the American public.
