A wise man and when love could not be - class through the cosm of love

Lorna Goodison and Francio Guadeloupe share equally beautiful parallel stories of love that cannot be. Intimate and closely entwined lives are pulled inevitably apart by the subtle yet magnified differentiations of class and colour that lead to their separations. Beautifully told everyday tragedies, of a granny and little girl, and their whistful memories of love.
