Frances-Marie Coke is a lifelong educator, born in Jamaica. After a decade at Kingston College she worked in employee counselling and human resource management at a large telecommunications firm in Jamaica, designing and facilitating a wide range of training and development programs. She entered academia as an administrator and lecturer at the University of the West Indies, Mona, Jamaica, where she played a significant role in the work of the Mona School of Business, a major provider of management education in the Caribbean region. She has designed and facilitated workshops in education, leadership, and management in Jamaica. Writing has been a major part of her life for over four decades. She has won several awards for poetry, fiction, and play writing in literary competitions staged by the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission. Her poems have appeared in The Jamaica Observer Literary Arts magazine, The Caribbean Writer, the Australian publication Kunapippi, and three Jamaica Observer literary publications, Bearing Witness 1, Bearing Witness 2, and Bearing Witness 3. Since relocating to Florida, she has continued to write, while working in education. Her publications include two volumes of poetry: Intersections published by Peepal Tree Press, Leeds, UK, and The Balm of Dusk Lilies published by the Jamaica Observer Literary Publications. The Spirit of Clovelly Park is partly "a tribute to Kingston College, the colleagues there who contributed to making a teacher of me, and the hundreds of boys with whom I traveled a life-changing path."
