Based on the author's correspondence with Gordon Rohlehr, the essay reveals Rohlehr's emotional responses to his period of graduate study in England. Contact between the two correspondents had begun in their undergraduate years at the University of the West Indies in Jamaica. Also indicated are Rohlehr's musical tastes, his literary references, his reactions to political events in the anglophone Caribbean of the 1960s and 1970s, his assessment of the cultural tenor of his native Guyana, his responses to the literary oeuvres of Kamau Brathwaite and Derek Walcott, and his struggle between optimism and pessimism regarding Caribbean social and political developments
