Introducing Judge #1: JAH

Joanne Haynes (also known as Joanne Allong-Haynes - JAH) is a writer who is inspired by motherhood, life and people. She is the winner of the Trinidad Theatre Workshop's Derek Walcott Children's Literature Prize (2005). Here's what she wants to share with you: I believe that writing is the stimulator and the balmer of the soul. I would like to see people using it more as a medium of expression, even outside of the realm of writing for publishing ... To use it as a tool for getting in touch with oneself.

On the topic of writing a poem for Diva, Joanne had this bit of advice: Get in touch with the Diva in you and free her ... or him.
