Mortal Man

This is an exciting collection from the experience of an African American writer whose voice should be read and heard whether black or white. The lyrical content in his work flow from poems relating to matters of the heart to poems of the struggle of the world in the streets to the place of God in the journey of life. Relax and get in touch with a gentle read from a different poet in a simple perspective that's universal and all can relate with. This collection is a treasure, an essential collection of the work of a poet whose words have entered our common language. Timeless, the spirit of those words will live on in this body of words from a writer who captures emotion and feeling in poetic context.
