TALES AS TALL AS MANGO TREES

Living on Earth
The World

As we continue our winter storytelling special, Ken Corsbie of Guyana and Barbados, tells the tallest tales — how to pick a mango, and adjusting to life in the cold north. And he performs the work of the beloved Caribbean poet Paul Keens-Douglas, complete with steel drum.
