Musical lyrics in art and poetry

"Gordon McFarlane has compiled a number of poems of life experiences and comedy to share with the world and he's aware that the contents of this book may not corresopnd to the tradtional style and presentation of some traditional works of poetry....Mr. McFarlane recognizes his Jamaican roots and much of his works are intune with both American and Jamaican cultural langauage and tradition. His poem that is titled "Journeys from the South" is just one of those that has great compliments for the music and culinary skills of African American Culture" -- P. [4] of cover.
