Description
Jamaican poet, Jean Goulbourne brings us poems of sorrow and gladness, day and night, valleys and mountains, birth and death, starvation and fullness. In spite of cultural differences, races and creeds, in this world of diversity, humanity remains the same. A New Day asks us to accept each other as human, regardless of all the above, and seek love rather than hate.
