A Lost Boy to a Found Man (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781665750226)

Desmond Edmond decided to present his talent for writing in a form rarely seen in poetry books. he presents an autobiographical storyline in A LOST BOY TO A FOUND MAN. With firm grabse of his talent he meticulously shows the reader his development of emotional stability and a belief in God that hitched a ride along the way. for this, any reader who loves books, especially ones of poetry, gets a rare read of his first poems and pieces of prose. Most writers, of any kind, can only share memories of what they wrote when first starting out. Uniquely, Desmond is able to spoon feed the reader with poems and pieces of prose that date back to 1996, such as STRIFE and 1997, such as AFRIKA/AMERICA. another poem titled JUST SOME WORDS gives visceral feelings when reading it, written in 2005. Viewing Desmond through this progressive lens like his poem YOU AND US, and then looking at poems such as NIKKI GIOVANNI, LION, MAROONS, SUNSHINE and surely to be a favorite THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM, the reader can actually witness the development of a writing style that is meant for the world to read. Rare indeed.
