The Genesis of God’s Creation

About this poem

This poem was first written in 1961 when the poet was a student at Howard University in Washington, D. C. It was eventually published by the New York Heritage Library (Educational Heritage Incorporated ) at 733 Yonkers Avenue, Yonkers, New York in 1963, where the poet once worked as a proofreader of manuscripts documenting black history, and featuring publications by the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The publishing company has since folded. The poem, Creation, was inspired by the poet’s imagination of the numinous nature of the God image, and of man’s eternal preoccupation with the desire to comprehend the incomprehensible.  more »
