TODAY IS THE WHERE YESTERDAY AND TOMORROW SPEND THE NIGHT CONJOINED

Life is a multi-dimensional journey we embark upon from the moment we are born. Whatever path we engage upon or choose to travel is a result and reflection of many factors. Poetry and poetical literature are tools in the arsenal we acquire early in life, figuratively, from the cradle to the grave. Poems serve as mirrors through which we are able to reflect as well as project our expectations, hopes, wishes, and dreams for the future. This book is a compendium of inspirational writing and poetry. Filled with imagery, symbols, and foreign languages, these devices serve as ways of identifying routes and places traveled by slaves, ancestors of this poet, as they voyaged from their Motherland, Africa, to North America. Weaved together in a systemic way, the reader is invited to emotionally and sympathetically travel the these journeys. The use of different languages as karmic quotes also provide keys to ancestral lineages. The use of languages and ancestry is a technique that serves as a creative way of bringing out many themes embedded in this present work.
