Poems from the Heart
By: Dr. Haywood L. Strickland
About the Book
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.
