The Symphony of Life

A Collection of Poems

By: Daryl L. Peterson

Author Daryl L. Peterson loves his country and the military that serves it; he enjoys baseball and joking with family and friendshe has written poetry all his life. This collection is in honor of his father, John J. Peterson, a man who went quietly through the noise, hate, disappointments and sorrows of life and did not become bitter and who taught Daryl what life was all about. So May It Ever Be If God should beckon us this day With His love and outstretched hand, And he should whisper softly to us As He leads us to that promised land, Fear not, as you journey down this road, Even though the path you do not know. For I comfort those who are left behind With this promise, we take leave and go. One who makes such a supreme sacrifice Will meet with angels unaware. As he or she trods down this path On one of lifes busy thoroughfares. God renews our faith and lifts us up And gives to us brighter and higher goals, For when God is with each one of us It tends to still our distressed souls.

Shuckin' and Jivin'

Folklore from Contemporary Black Americans

By: Daryl Cumber Dance

. . . a rare combination of inclusiveness and honesty. . . . cogent introduction[s] . . . confirm the central point of the tales: a search for cultural identity and freedom. First-rate." —Library Journal " . . . deserves a place alongside the classic collection of Negro tales, Mules and Men. Folktales are the stories people tell, and Shuckin' and Jivin' presents a splendid representative sheaf of the stories black Americans of all social classes tell today . . . . Professional folklorists will applaud Dance's candor and scholarly rigor." —Richard M. Dorson An exciting new collection of Black American folklore, running the gamut from anecdotes concerning life among the slaves to obviously contemporary jokes. In their frank expression of racial attitudes and unexpurgated wit, these tales represent a radical departure from earlier collections.
