Karl Sealy

Sealy in 1962

Karl Sealy (1922-1993) was a teacher, chess player, poet and short story writer from Barbados. Edward Baugh called him "one of the finest, most compelling West Indian writers of prose fiction".[1]

From 1945 to 1965 Sealy contributed 20 short stories to BIM, the Barbadian little magazine. His short story 'The Pieces of Silver' has been on the English GCE syllabus.[1]

In 2003 a chess championship, the Karl Sealy Memorial Open, was established in his memory.[2] Visit His Website for more about Karl Sealy
