Highlighting the continuous contribution of Mr. Dillon Ollivierre towards literature within the Caribbean

One of our Caribbean Writers, Mr. Dillon Ollivierre has certainly grown over the years. I am so glad that I have the opportunity to interact with such a great literary scholar Born on the morning of January 26th 1989 in Kingstown St.Vincent, Dillon is the only child for his parents Lucian and Verina Ollivierre. He began writing in 2005 while attending the Bequia Seventh Day Adventist Secondary School. His inspiration derived mainly from love. The first poem he attempted was to express his love to his crush. “My main goal” the young lad explained, “ is to publish a book of my poetry and also to touch the lives of my readers and relate to them through my poems. As a writer, it is a tremendous feeling to be able to produce a piece that others can relate to.” He goes on to say, “Too often our youths feel alone when faced with problems of life but when they are able to read or listen to someone who is expressing the same feelings ... it gives them hope and as a poet I am obligated to relate to my readers.” Dillon would usually share his pieces to his family and friends of whose feedback was very important to him and as years went by, he continued to mature as a writer. He gained more experience and more positive feedback. He used the local newspaper, The Caribbean Compass, The 'Barbados Advocate' and various internet sites as his medium of publication. His publication in The Caribbean Compass earned him an invitation to the annual Compass writer's brunch held April 21st 2011. “In my opinion, life is a blessing. It is a privilege given to us to obtain the best out of it and to achieve and contribute to making the world better place. I believe that I was given the talent of being a poet for a reason so I am using it to the best of my ability. Love inspires me to write.
