From Paris with Love

This collection includes poems from two weeks in Paris, Francewhere I and Mrs. Maguy Joseph visited for seven straight summers or seasons. Then there are also variety of poems about black/white race relations.

The weeks these poems were done were gloomy and cold (in October that year). And rain bothered my arthritic right leg. Nonetheless, I feel the selection of poems were sufficient for this book.

Even the October leaves hadnt turned color yet, as I had hoped for. But these problems seemed surmountable, why? Because I had my partner at home to think about while I was temporarily away.

There are some other poems to fill out this selection too. A few are about the primary campaign between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. At the present time, I'm working on poems with rhymed stanzas.
