Synopsis
Chat ’Bout!: An Anthology of Jamaican Conversations
Jamaicans love to ‘tek bad tings mek laugh’ and Chat ’Bout! lets you get in on the conversation.
Written in Patwa or Patois, Chat ’Bout! celebrates all things mundanely Jamaican. Unfiltered, honest and funny, it examines the idiosyncrasies of everyday Jamaican life - the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Guided by Jamaican GPS, Chat ’Bout! takes you on a journey through Jamaica, past and present. Get lost while reminiscing down memory lane; stop and eavesdrop on conversations, and vicariously experience a minibus ride. Next thing you know, you are experiencing an unfortunate episode of ‘runnin’ belly’ and having a good belly laugh while you are at it.
Be thoroughly entertained by Chat ’Bout! and pick up some Patwa as brawta.

About the Author
Shelley Sykes-Coley is a Jamaican of mixed Chinese,
European and African heritage. After working in the creative
industry for over 30 years, she decided to pursue her love for
writing after a 20-year career in Marketing. Her dream of
becoming a published author took root after emerging the
winner of an open mic segment at the largest literary festival
in the Caribbean, the 2016 Calabash Literary Arts Festival
in Treasure Beach, Jamaica. Her first collection of poems,
Chat ’Bout! An Anthology of Jamaican Conversations, is that
dream come to fruition.
The author’s poetry is permeated with familiar memories,
experiences and conversations that highlight common
Jamaican idiosyncrasies and cultural norms that contribute
to the shared life experiences that sometimes Jamaicans
use to ‘tek bad tings mek laugh’. Her style of story telling
is reflected in politically incorrect social commentary and
humorous conversations.
Her wry sense of humour, use of colourful Jamaican dialect
and simple conversational style easily transports audiences,
bringing her highly entertaining pieces to life.
Shelley is married and lives in Kingston, Jamaica, with her
husband, André.
