A poetry anthology in three parts, the first section relates ordeals or simple incidents through narratives based on real or imagined events to make a point about life experiences. In the second, many of the concepts that aid individuals when contending with struggles and developing means for survivals are explored. In the third section, one poem narrates the journey of one immigrant American group: African Americans. The first two sections are a mix of rhymed and unrhymed verses. The last section is in rhyme.
