This essay argues that the link between art and survival shapes Caribbean understandings of the term 'poetics'. Focusing on works by Derek Walcott and Édouard Glissant, it explains how their poetics uncovers the devastating effects of colonialism and slavery in the Caribbean including the detrimental consequences of imaginaries informed by Christianity - even as it also seeks to articulate possibilities to move beyond those imaginaries toward new ways of being.
