  Abstract:  Caribbean Poetry in Britain, A Literary Site of Cultural Change. As the Caribbean literature published on both sides of the Atlantic shows, literary language and style can work in parallel with contemporary theoretical debates in expressing cultural change. This essay focuses on works of several Caribbean poets, who published and were awarded prestigious prizes in Britain and in the Caribbean. It delineates some of their inherent performative attributes, which proved effective in addressing various stages of postcolonial cultural transformation and in modifying aspects of the British literary canon.

Keywords: Caribbean British poetry, E. K. Brathwaite, Derek Walcott, David Dabydeen, Grace Nichols, John Agard, E. A. Markham, Fred D’Aguiar, Dorothea Smartt.
