A great book of poems and essays that will enlighten anyone. The author covers topics from love to the heart-felt feelings of September 11, 2001 with the poem The Day America Cried, and the story of love called The Three Hour Love Affair. This book not only covers the author's cultural experiences in the USA, but it also reaches out and provides insight of expressions from things seen all over the world. This book is truly one of a kind-a keepsake for the ages, something that is definitely worth passing down from generation to generation.
