Each year I go through the winners of the Webby Awards (the internet’s answer to the Academy Awards) looking for interesting websites I’ve never heard of. This year I found two links of relevance to this blog’s readers: one directly and one indirectly.

Poet Kwame Dawes’s work on people living in Jamaica with HIV.

I suggest you close your eyes and listen to the poetry and then view the images afterwards.
