From Paris with Love William H Friedman

In this collection are included poems from two weeks in Paris, France----where I and Mrs. Maguy Joseph visited for seven straight summers or seasons. Then, also there are a variety of poems about black/white race relations.
The weeks these poems were done were gloomy and cold (in October that year). And rain bothered my arthritic right leg. Nonetheless, I feel the selection of poems were sufficient for this book.
Even the October leaves hadn't turned color yet, as I had hoped for.
But theses problems seemed surmountable_why? Because I had my partner at home to think about while I was temporarily away.
There are some other poems to fill out this selection too. A few are about the primary campaign between Hilary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. At the present time I'm working on poems with rhymed stanzas.
