Joan Andrea Hutchinson Poems Jamaica - by Arriel Bullock
“You’re the ackee in my saltfish Condensed milk in my tea, The patty in my coco bread. Without you there is no me”
“Jus becaw mi tell one man say him teet look like Dem a go gi di dentist lockjaw An mi tell one ooman say her mout a ratten teet Should a punishable by law”
After reading those two excerpts, the face of one individual instantly comes to mind - that of Joan Andrea Hutchinson, “The next Miss Lou”, “Dat Bumpy Head Gal”.

Whichever name you may know her by, one thing stands out at all times: she is Jamaica’s cultural ambassador.
Following in the footsteps of Amina Blackwood-Meeks and the late Dr the Honourable Louise Bennett Coverley (the original Miss Lou), Joan has embraced her culture, with a passion for ensuring it is preserved and kept valid and current at home in Jamaica, as well as in the Diaspora.
The essential “jack of all trades” when it comes to the imparting of the Jamaican culture, Miss Hutchinson is an author, storyteller, actress, language trainer, motivational speaker and cultural educator.
A firm believer in the saying, “kin teet kibba heart bun”, she utilizes wit and humour to bring across essential themes and aspects of the Jamaican culture.
Her riveting stage presence allows Joan to
communicate her thoughts and ideas in any setting, to any audience, and
it is received with the same level of awe and understanding.
Her storytelling style is effective to capture the attention of children all over, and her enthusiasm and vivacity will spell-bind adults regardless of the socio-economic status. That is the effect of Joan Andrea Hutchinson.
One poem, one performance, even one quotation is enough to have even the skeptic salivating for more.
Her unique talent brings the Jamaican culture into perspective, through practical, everyday Jamaican experiences and proverbs, expressed in the authentic, inimitable Jamaican dialect.
She has a vast repertoire of Jamaican poems, which are compiled in audio/visual cd’s and books.
Her most famous works, and incidentally some of my favourite include, but are not limited to:
- “Mi Let Yuh Down”
- “Workaholic”
- “Ward
21”
- “Dat Bumpy Head Gal”
- “Playgroun”
- “Love Cyaan Done”
- “Madman
Power”
- “It Hot But Hush”
- “Lion Heart Love”
- “Ef Ooman Strike”
- “Dat
White Witch Henny”
- “Di Hog Name Crowd”
- and her tribute to Louise Bennett: “Tenky Miss Lou Tenky”.
Here too are other poems from her book
Inna Mi Heart, Jamaican Love Poetry
These include:
Regardless of whether you are Jamaican-born, a Jamaican-at-heart or simply in love with the Jamaican culture and lifestyle, Joan’s work will appeal to your sense of cultural pride and broaden your appreciation for the Jamaican people.
It matters not if you are a fan of “Bredda Anancy”, in love with the intricacies and rhythm of the Jamaican dialect, or curious regarding the meaning behind the proverbs or “old people sayings”, there is a Joan Andrea Hutchinson poem to “whet your appetite”.
So the next time you want a taste of some authentic Jamaican culture, just pick up a work from Joan Andrea Hutchinson and “tek kin teet kibba heart bun.”
