Publisher's Synopsis
The 1960s and 70s were a world wide stage for a generation rebelling against the establishment. Protesting the war in Vietnam was just one of the major stage events of the era. Racial equality was a lesson trying to be learned and is still in the learning stage as of this new century. This was a period rich in expression both in the printed page, the arts, and vocal lyrics. The Shades That People Make is about those troubled times and how they effected one young writer's view of himself, life in general, and the rest of the world. Yet today, after many years in a closed file drawer these poems are resurrected to see the light of a new era and a new century, and yet somehow, these same words still reflect the mood and uneasiness of these new troubled times.
