The author's lasting impressions in The People's Poet crystallizes into poetry that is both emotional and gripping. We read about crime and street violence one moment, and later touch on soothing scenes such as nature and the environment. Both sides reflect the path his life has taken.

Some poems were completed after years passed, including "In Spanish Harlem," which was written "when I felt secure enough to look back in time during that period in 1980." His impressions have crystallized into poetry that is both emotional and gripping. All the variations come from "The People's Poet".

About the Author: Walter James is originally from New York City, where he grew up in an orphanage and visited friends in the barrio of Spanish Harlem during the pre-civil rights era.
