The book has been called innovative, fresh, intense, unique, raw, and well-written.
This collection of poems spans six decades.
When the pressures of the pandemic, political chaos, and racial hatred reached a tipping point, Nitzel started writing at a prolific rate.
So, he went about the business of supporting his family, writing a poem when he remembered something from the past that he wanted to explore, or when he felt he needed to react to a current event, or just for the fun of it.
He submitted a couple to various college publications, and they were rejected.
During that time, in the early 1960s, some of his professors and classmates encouraged him to submit his poems for publication.
