Berkeley, California: Creative Arts Book Co., (2001.). SIGNED first edition - Collection of poems by this award-winning Oakland based, African-American poet, many which look at everyday events in a fresh and observant way- whether it is a teacher looking at the end-of-term gifts from his Vietnamese immigrant students and flashing back to being a 19 year old grunt in the jungles of Vietnam, or an engineering professor stuck with a carload of white, right-wing Republicans to help them 'hide behind a smiling mask of diversity.' SIGNED on the first page. 115 pp. ISBN: 0-88739342X.
