Book Description
A journey of self-expression through some of America most turbulent times. "My Life as A Poet" is collections of poems and articles. Along with quotes which reflect my self-expression as a poet from the times I grew up in and all throughout my life. A product of the thoughts that went through my mind growing up in Harlem, doing one of the most turbulent ages in America history. Poetry helped me make sense of my life and the world around me. It kept me from destroying myself because of the frustrations doing that period. It also gave my life a new direction which continues to benefit me right up until today. I hope you enjoy where it has taken me so far and you'll join me for the rest of my journey. Richard Melvin, Poet
