LIFE'S JOURNEY THROUGH THE EYES OF A POET

In this book, the author presents us in poetic language his views of life as it unfolded through events, people, and places that had the greatest influence on his humanity. The story of black people's struggles in America leading up to the Great Migration from the South, the rise of the "New Negro," of Black culture, the renaissance, of religion, literature, art, and music in Harlem, in particular, where the writer spent forty years of his life, had a great impact on him.
In his poetry, he shares with us his views on the powers of love and he compares our lives with the four seasons of Nature. He shares his remembrances of people who in untold ways had made his journey possible. He writes about his travels to Africa, Europe, China, Australia, and Fiji, sharing his unique insights and observations along the way. And, of course, he could not end his journey without going back to his birthplace as he invites us to stroll with him on Memory Lane to that dear little town, La Boca, C. Z., that was demolished and vanished forever from the earth, except in memories. This is the journey you will see, briefly, through the eyes of a poet.
