10 Until a few hours ago, the name Jamir Nazir had been associated above all with his "love for poetry", a fact that has led him to write verses about the "landscapes, stories and emotional rhythms" of the island of Trinidad, where he grew up and where he still lives, as we can read in the biography of the prestigious magazine Granta. Nazir is interested in "exploring the cultural intersections between the Caribbean and the Indian diaspora", a theme that inspired the story The serpent in the grove [The serpent in the forest], with which he has won one of the Commonwealth 2026 prizes, endowed with 2,500 pounds – about 2,850 euros – to which almost 8,000 narratives had been submitted.
