Book Details

"The mere imparting of information is not education." -Carter G. Woodson





For many, the college campus provides a canvas for epiphany and self discovery. While enrolled, students from all over the world create blueprints that will provide permanent foundations for life beyond the yard. Life Within The Dorm is a witty collection of college related poems that will no doubt help underclassmen successfully navigate the undergraduate experience and send college graduates on a journey imbued with nostalgia.

 

Book Excerpt

By M. Brabham "Sneaker Sistah" (Bethlehem, PA) - This book was a trip down memory lane. It took me to places I never want to go back to, my undergrad years. The reminders of being broke and making a way out of no way were all too real! What a down to earth reality the author has portrayed of the average black HBCU student! By Mz SF - This book really took me down memory lane to my on campus college days- especially as a freshman! The poetry is so vivid, you can actually think back and associate some names and faces with the content of the poems. It's definitely a great read as anyone who has experienced college or is about to embark on the college journey will definitely relate.
