About the Author:

I was born in Georgetown, British Guyana - South America in 1935. At age 10 I was placed in an orphanage run by the Sisters of Mercy. In 1952, I immigrated to the U. S. and graduated from high school at age 18. I, then, pursued a career in Psychiatric Nursing and went on to undergraduate and graduate school where I earned degrees in Nursing Education and Human Relations. I subsequently taught foreign-trained graduate nurses and finally accepted the admin. position of Treatment Team Leader at a psychiatric center in New York City. My poetry writing began at age 14 influenced in secondary school by my exposure to Shakespeare, Keats, Byron, Longfellow and Alexander Pope. In 1997, I received a National Authors Registry President's award for Literary Excellency.

Book Review:

From: Robert L. Fenton, Literary Agent "I have quite an unusual book of poems that is quite inspirational and half of the poetry is dedicated to women: Sunflower Beauty, Jessica Come Home, A Rose Named Petal, To My Beloved Cuz. Our agency represents Gerald Adams, born in British Guyana, who over the years became one of its most prominent citizens. He has had a number of memorable experiences throughout his life and has condensed them into a collection of dramatic poems with some photographs.
