published: Sunday | August 8, 2004

Editorial - At 42: tension of growth in the sun
THE ACCLAIMED Jamaican poet, H.D. Carberry, in one of his works calling us to face the challenge of nationhood, wrote: "My country grows/struggling towards the sun/Conscious of vast forces/Dimly understood /And unappreciated."
