    About this ebook

    Here is a collection of contemporary poetry that harkens back to the vibrance and energy of the radical sixties. Each poem calls forth that eras’ sense of hope and empowerment and reawakens the old cry and reignites the ongoing need for change. It draws the motivation of the radical sixties into the consciousness of a generation too long adrift in denial.
    Exquisitely crafted and eloquently presented, This Crowded Avenue will leave you breathless with its insightful revelations into American society yesterday and today and the continued promise we represent to those at home and abroad still crying “We shall overcome!” “Yes we can!”
