Book Description
HARDCOVER So have a care, or petition an inquiry. Remember how certain individuals were discriminated against by upper ship officers, who let this continue for years, without understanding. Feel the disgust as the injustice exacerbated as the number of personnel increased. Probe the incompetent union reps who pretended indifference and compounded the problems. Who am I? The first Black employee to be Chief Engineer, who was assaulted by a pro boxer, who the company never charged. The Racial Discrimination are documented inside the pages of this book. The details of abuse, oppression, and distress endured while working the ships as they sailed thru the waters of BC. As Bligh made Christian forever relevant with the Bounty and Bligh's mistreatment of his crew, so too has this company made my name relevant with the Ferries, where I continued to suffer without an advocate to my claims for retribution... and thereby I became, from January 1969 until June 2004, the "BLACK mark on their Lily White Sides"

Book Description
A collection of thoughts, a mess of my aged epigrams, some advice given to me decades and decades ago, some helpful contemplation and a reflective thought, or mayhap two, a provoking rambling which has become truth as each one I've lived through. Re-read my herein presented words alas also my wisdom, at least I hope them so you'll find, and when you have, if you did find some useful or relative word amongst my own, then pray I, pass it on, please pass it on, pass it anew to someone and tell them what you did find. Thank you again for taking a small time out of your day for this small "Pause for Poetry" and may the good fates and good fortunes follow you generously as a friend of mine....

Book Description
The title doesn't say it all. What it does is attempt to lay open life's experiences over the past 50+ years. In this, you will find instances of love gone good and love gone bad. You will learn of peoples and places many times like people and places you already know. As I journey back through these past experiences, I hope some of you will feel to join and relive with me in these forages. Others I hope will see themselves and in so doing, will avoid pitfalls which I have crossed over, pains which I have endured and pleasures and loves which were my rewards. Love's Refuge in truth, if you read the table of contents, it will also help you to understand the frame of minds at the different times that these words were put together.

Book Description
A-ways back, back beyond the early 1960s I wrote some rhymed lyrics for a few friends of my father, who used them for playing in their home bands. As time went on, I wrote more but didn't even think about putting these in a booklet or having any means of documenting their ownership. A few years later a shipmate of mine looked at and became interested in my few saved works. It was now in the end part of 1961 when I started haphazardly keeping a little book (attempting to keep a record) of some of my song lyrics, song poems, song ballads and even a few thoughts or ideas to be useable in movies or as concert fillers. I do NOT sing myself and as such never had the training to put my words to music vocally. Still my collections grew. Thus to interested and/or musical friends: "FOR YOU". Explore these lyrics to find something you would be willing to take a second long look at, with the hope or thought of being able to use it in your jam session or musicale. Please contact if you wish to use these lyrics.

Book Description
This is the fifth book in the series of poetry collections by this author, who was born in Trinidad, raised in Cayman Islands and became Canadian by choice a few years after his service at sea around the world. A sea mariner by nature, he worked the coastal waters of British Columbia, strolled the beaches for his peace of mind, drove through the feverish highways of Vancouver while raising his family on the outskirts of that city during his employment with BC Ferries. Now enjoying a well-earned retirement after more than 50 years of working, he wishes to share with you, his bits and pieces of thoughts that he accumulated over the course of his life. It is with pleasure that he presents to you this book of A Poet's Ebb and Flow with which he hopes that you will harvest a mental serenity and repose from the chaos of today's world.

Book Description
Step into a Black man's world for a while, imagine his life and try to live a little through his words, as he steps candidly through a world too many are trying to rebuild or hold onto. "Judge me not without a Trial" is not just a title; it is a plea for freedom, justice, understanding and equality.

Book Description
Come look at all the captured steps which I've tried to lay out so you better would see the pictures, tho in words, which makes one small togetherness, bringing us in a same time and space, so we can share our deeper philosophies as our paths in our lives did intermix. So different yet so much alike we lived, and live still, to walk along and let us note the 'how much alike we are or were in passing thru.' So take any title and think back to that subjected time, place or day and smile... yes smile... you will, you must, you need to... for to capture and relive our memories -- that is all we keep through our passages of time. This book is just one part of a series of poetry books by this author, who was born in Trinidad, raised in Cayman and after a three-year adventure of world travelling while working deep sea, immigrated to Canada. Herein you will find pages which contains prose about the unexpected bumps of life, the joys of the smoother rides and the deep tears that can only come from loving.
