Description

All the poems between My Momma Did Say I Would Meet A
Girl Like You and Untitled are observations, reminiscences, and
insights stories within a story.
Using the river motif and oral tradition in Untitled the poet
underscores certain thematic and analogous paradigms within a
socio-cultural, geo-political landscape. This landscape is America.
Why America? Well, Long Creek runs from the back of our
house into the Roaring River. Moreover, all the diverse rivers of
the world run into the great rivers of America. Similarly, peoples
from across the globe stream into America the land of
opportunity. America then, has become an inter-cultural, intracultural
dynamic; framework a cauldron that brews an alchemy
of ideas that is characteristic of a renewed people called
Americans.
Many of the poems, their titles and the images within them,
find a connection, a culmination even, in the last poem of this
collection, the revelation Untitled.
