Meet Sam Bacchus McLeod
Sam Bacchus is a Caribbean writer whose work blends the lyricism of memory with the weight of history. Her debut collection, Under the Jamun Tree and Other Stories, gathers twelve tales rooted in Guyana’s landscapes and voices, told through resilience, belonging, and authenticity.
Her narrative journalism has appeared in The Georgia Straight and SeaWestNews, where she profiles young farmers, salmon stewards, and the future of Canadian food. She is also the voice behind SamBacchus.com, a lyrical blog exploring culture, food, and travel.
Sam is currently at work on several novels that continue to explore the intersections of Caribbean life, migration, and women’s stories.
About This Blog
SamBacchus.com is where Caribbean memory meets the wider world. Here I share lyrical reflections on Guyanese culture, food, and travel — stories steeped in history, belonging, and the everyday poetry of life. This space is both my creative home and an open door for readers who wish to journey with a Caribbean storyteller.
