Additional information
by Curtis Jr. Sartor (Author)
This book is written as a poetic autobiography of my life experiences and has been one of the most transparent and revealing books that I have ever written. It exposes my deepest experiences, secrets, feelings, thoughts, and emotions. If you read the poems very thoroughly, they reflect my character through word choices, rhythm, and the different styles of poems used; the reader will be able to see the heart of the author. The poems were written to cause the reader to think, feel, and reflect on common, lived experiences of African Americans and what other underrepresented populations have shared and endured.
Additionally, my journey as a baby boomer, who has embraced Jesus Christ, can also be heard in the poems. Themes of art, architecture, social justice, identity development, music, love, and spirituality can be traced throughout the poems as they are a significant part of my life. Finally, I don't want this book to be seen as a conclusion or the end to a life but the beginning or at least a transition to another episode in my life.
