Another in the series on Saint Lucians... In June 2015 the Saint Lucian Writers Forum introduced the Laureates' Chair to honour the 1992 Nobel Laureate for Literature Hon. Derek Walcott and to give local writers an outlet to present from their extensive body of work. The Laureate's of 2015: * ADRIAN AUGIER * KENDEL HIPPOLYTE * SHARON TRESELLE * MODESTE DOWNES * FRANK GILKES * ANDERSON REYNOLDS "Our Saint Lucian education must teach us to savour, to know and appreciate what is ours, such as our fauna and our flora, our historical past and our present so that our children grow to appreciate and treasure what they are, so that when they see people like Darren Sammy or Chef Nina excelling in the world, they are not surprised but they are reassured that we have a place in a globalized world."
