Youth Lasts Forever

About the Book

This book is called Youth Lasts Forever: Recollections of an Aging Author. It is done in rhymed stanzas. This is what the title refers to. For me, it is a form of poetry more traditional and disciplined. In this way, it differs from my two books, Hearts and Minds and From Paris with Love.

About the Author

First credit is due to Mrs. Maguy Joseph who empowered me to write my books. Kristen Neal is my partner in all my three books. The latter is Kristen Neal my fiancée since 2001, who is my favorite critic and inspiration. As to myself, I am the poet of “Youth Last Forever”. I am 75. I am a graduate of Williams College (next to Havard, surely the best liberal art school in the country). I also was a teacher at Howard University, the foremost black university in the country. As they say, Semper vertitas!
