About the Book

The poetry challenges one to look into the mirror at yourself to see who you are. Then it expresses how one may change as time and circumstances shift from an active voice of the community to a spiritual exaltation as a child of God.

About the Author

Gordon Drewery Jr. was born in Frankfurt, Germany, the older of two children, but his father's military career and school brought him to the United Stated before his first birthday. He grew up in Morristown and Madison, NJ. As a teenager, he scribbled and drew so much, that his sister believed he would be the next cartoonist, but football, basketball, and poetry were his real passions. He played football for Suny Albany State University, but later decided to pursue a career in teaching. He has taught elementary, middle, and high school, preferring to work with special needs children. He continues to be involved with football as a coach for Morristown High School and a referee for basketball. Poetry has been a lifetime love. From sorrowful poems of loved ones lost to exuberant poetry dedicated to his culture, Gordon continues to fulfill his passions one at a time. He still lives in Morristown with his wife, Pauline, and his dogs, Jazz and Taylor.
