Product Overview
Poems from the Heart
By: Dr. Haywood L. Strickland
This book of poetry captures Strickland's reflections and musings on life, love, death, the black experience, and African heritage. He believes it will resonate with readers over a wide range of experiences and bring a healing message in a time of crisis. The book is freewheeling, following no specific methodology; the settings are varied and reflective of notes jotted down at the time of observation or memoires of events capturing time, places, or people.
