Tyson Hill

(Curaçao) is a writer and performer. In September 2025, Tyson presented his first poetry collection, Sigá ku glas di awa (Cigar with a glass of water), during the Wintertuin Curaçao Festival. He grew up with a love of reading and writing. After studying in the Netherlands, he returned to Curaçao and rediscovered his passion for literature in his native language, Papiamentu. Creative writing helped him to shape his identity. In this bilingual collection, written in Papiamentu and translated into Dutch by Nathania Engelhardt, Hill takes the reader on a journey through childhood, love, memory and Curaçaoan identity.
