Una Marson

I felt that it was only right to invoke and channel some of my favorite Jamaican poets, folks like Claude McKay, Louise Bennett Coverley, also known as Miss Lou, one of my favorite poets, Miss Lou.

Wow.

Well, that shifting of focus, the ability to turn, to change direction, seems to be a crucial aspect of the explorer, as you might describe it, yeah.

The same could be said of Una Marson, who came from the Caribbean to England and had to, I suppose, renegotiate her identity across this border between the Caribbean and the United Kingdom.

That's quite an undertaking to do and then became a BBC producer.

Just incredible.
