Kyk-Over-Al (magazine)

Kyk-Over-Al is a literary magazine published in Guyana, the only survivor of the three pioneering literary magazines founded in the 1940s that helped define postwar West Indian literature (the other two were Bim, published in Barbados, and Focus, published in Jamaica). Kyk-Over-Al is indelibly associated with the Guyanese poet and editor A. J. Seymour, the magazine's longtime editor. After Seymour's death in 1989 the editorship was assumed by poet and novelist Ian McDonald. The title is often informally abbreviated to Kyk.
