Publisher's Synopsis
True to his style the author has once again created a one of a kind, first time piece, that others undoubtedly will soon try and copy. While endless autobiographies have been written - as well bio-poems and autobiographical poetry - careful research was not able to find an author who tells his entire life story through a series of poems. The question most often posed to the author about his urban fiction novels is, "Are you sure these stories are not real?" As a result, he decided to publish a true story and chose poetry as the genre. He is always trying to reach the reader, whose interest is not what it used to be, in the hopes that they can once again recapture the significance of page turning. It is a common urban legend that the only ones who read poetry are poets and critics, and the only ones who write it are faculty who teach it. Outside of the classroom poetry has become a lost art, or a category best served up by Alex Trebek on Jeopardy. This book is not your typical book of poems. It is motivating, challenging, and thought-provoking. Because it covers a wide range of topics, including politics, religion, family values, as well as education and romance, it is an interesting read for every one of all ages.
