SKETCHES: PEOPLE-WATCHING IN THE U S of A
In People-Watching, Carmen has opened a sociological wound that festers in every village, every town every city, every country! Every poem is a picture of humanity’s artwork on the landscape of life.

As we meditate on the many scenarios presented, we are forced to agree with the saying, “There but for the grace of God go I.” Vashti Hinds
Connecting with My African Roots
This book is not only about connection but also about discovery. As an adult, through my years or reading and research, I became aware of the theories revolving around Pangea (Pangaea), the super continent existing over 300 million years ago that included Africa and South America. The theory is that it broke apart to form the Americas, the Atlantic Ocean, as well as many islands. If one looks at a globe or a map, one would see that Africa and South America fit together like a hand in a glove, and if one believes the theory, then these countries share a common ancestry. So even though what became known as The Middle Passage separated the two continents, the people undoubtedly retain the DNA of those ancestors that creates a forever connection between what was and what is. For this reason, the picture of Pangea on my book cover is exceedingly important.

Satire Or Evasion?
