Carlton Lindsay Barrett, also known as Eseoghene (born 15 September 1941), is a Jamaican poet, novelist, essayist, playwright, journalist and photographer who lives in Nigeria. Particularly during the 1960s and 1970s, Barrett was well known as an experimental and progressive essayist, his work being concerned with issues of black identity and dispossession, the African Diaspora, and the survival of descendants of black Africans, now dispersed around the world. One of his sons is the Nigerian writer A. Igoni Barrett,〔("Nigerian Author Fights Brain Drain" ), ''Jamaica Gleaner'', 22 May 2011.〕 with whom he has also worked professionally. ==Life in Jamaica==
Lindsay Barrett was born in Lucea, Jamaica, into an agricultural family. His father, Lionel Barrett, was a lifelong farmer and senior agriculturist with the Jamaican Ministry of Agriculture; his great-uncle, A. P. Hanson, founded the Jamaica Agricultural Society in the early 1930s.〔(Lindsay Barrett's biographical note under his article "Can UNIDO’s agribusiness dream build peace in Africa?" ) ''Making It Magazine'', 21 August 2012.〕 Barrett attended Clarendon College in Jamaica, and he has written that he was inspired to decide to live in Africa by a visit that pan-Africanist Dudley Thompson paid to the school in 1957: "In that visit he spoke eloquently of the cultural links that existed between Africa, especially Ghana, and Jamaica. He told us that the future held great potential for the restoration of our souls if we found ways to renew our links with the continent."〔Lindsay Barrett, ("Black History Month: Dudley Thompson, When Jamaica meets Africa" ), ''The Africa Report'', 6 February 2012.〕 After graduating from high school in 1959 Barrett worked as an apprentice journalist at the ''Daily Gleaner''〔 newspaper and for its sister afternoon tabloid, ''The Star''. In early 1961, he became a news editor for the Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation, where his mentor was the Jamaican journalist and political analyst John Maxwell.
