There was no sign of my being a poet in any of my schooling, especially in the free world. I flunked all of my English and language classes, and did not pick up reading until I lost my physical freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eI became a student in life, learning whatever I could, seeking out new things to know and do. This led to my meeting some splendid people, and to reading and studying some fascinating books. I gained a love and appreciation for the arts, for language, and for English. One must love and be love to be real Ð to walk in your own shoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eI offer these poems of realness with an open heart, mind, and soul. I hope this book inspires you to be you, and to walk in your own realness Ð to stay real, forever glowing and growing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksWholesale","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44225556480161,"sku":"9780557374069","price":26.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/12m6vm9e-front-shortedge-384_143f01dd-fe1a-458e-ac54-efe6a9cf5faf.jpg?v=1718419011","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/longer-ago","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
