The bio on her website describes Shara McCallum as a woman of Jamaican and Venezuelan descent, but that doesn't even scratch the surface of her diverse ethnic background. As a matter of fact, it reflects the frequently cruel and brutal process of cultural blending which occurred during the colonial era, especially on the Caribbean islands.
As a consequence, a country like Jamaica isn't just about Reggae, Rastafari and Ska. Different languages and dialects are spoken on the island, including Creole, Scots, and Patois. The latter is a little known language which Shara grew up with and even recites two nursery rhymes in as part of our conversation.
So, our online interview goes beyond asking questions and giving answers.
It frequently goes back and forth in terms of sharing stories and experiences, even a verse that came to me in a dream the night before our online talk.
---
So, the following narrative includes excerpts from a collection of testimonies and interviews entitled Let's Talk About It Anywhere In The World..., where it is all about people's voices, accents and speech patterns, hand in hand with my own personal anecdotes and observations. In addition to that, people are allowed to introduce themselves in their respective, often indigenous, languages and dialects, and to speak their minds freely, without any paraphrases or expectations.
So, let the story go on from there...

Shara McCallum was born in Jamaica to an African Jamaican father and a Venezuelan mother and moved to the United States with her family when she was nine. She earned a BA from the University of Miami, an MFA from the University of Maryland, and a PhD from Binghamton University. Her collections of poetry, published in the US and UK, include No Ruined Stone (2021).
McCallum's poems and essays have appeared in journals, anthologies, and textbooks throughout the US, Caribbean, Latin America, Europe, and Israel. In addition to Spanish, her poems have been translated into Italian, French, Romanian, Turkish, and Dutch and have been set to music by composers Marta Gentilucci and Gity Razaz.
She is a Liberal Arts Professor of English at Penn State University and, from 2003-17, served as the director of the Stadler Center for Poetry at Bucknell University. McCallum has received a poetry fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Witter Bynner Award from the Library of Congress, and other distinctions. In 2018, she was awarded the OCM Bocas Prize for Caribbean Literature for poetry.
