The first mention of the word "fairy" in any literary work appears in the "Shahnama" of Firdausi. Firdausi not only uses this word but also presents the readers with a new character by cutting "fairy" from its historical context. With his original imagination, he even changes the context of this story. As a result, a positive attitude towards the fairies appears to have formed. Fairy tales at their core assure the victory of good amid the struggle between good and evil, which has been later embellished by poets, storytellers, and historians in their respective talents. The presence of a demon in fairy tales is not as important as the belief that it can be defeated.

Haiti has long been relegated to the margins of the so-called New World. Marked by exceptionalism, the voices of some of its most important writers have consequently been muted by the geopolitical realities of the nation's fraught history. In Haiti Unbound, Kaiama L. Glover offers a close look at the works of three such writers: the Haitian Spiralists Frankétienne, Jean-Claude Fignolé, and René Philoctète. While Spiralism has been acknowledged as a crucial contribution to the French-speaking Caribbean literary tradition, it has not been given the sustained attention of a full-length study. Glover's book represents the first effort to consider the works of the three Spiralist authors both individually and collectively, filling an important gap in postcolonial Francophone and Caribbean studies.

In the afternoon, while I'm on the porch, the rains begin. This first rain is only a sprinkle and the ground quickly drinks it up. My children, who are playing in the yard, look to the sky, wanting more. Their hair glistens . . . A breeze, cooled by the rain, passes across the house. I hold my hands to my face and smell on them the mango flowers I sliced. I must have a little sweetness in my life, I think, not damp hands and indifferent kisses.
