HERITAGE New Poems is the seventh book of poetry from bestselling author LEWIS FREDERICK CRYSTAL. All of the poems in this volume were written in the previous twelve months and many including the title poem, reflect upon the author's ancestors who fleeing Russia prior to World War I and the Bolshevick Revolution settled in Harlem, New York and then migrated to Brooklyn, where the author was born. Although his own influences grew out of the cultural revolution of the 1960's, it was literally impossible to escape the inestimable impact of his family and their valiant struggle to assimilate into the American landscape. Other poems here reference many of the author's personal tastes(Jimi A Revisionist History Lesson and Six Degrees of Delmore Schwartz). Other poems center on personal struggles with issues of aging and the precise nature of the past and its relationship to the present and to the future (Solitary Journey, Summers Roll On)as well as Mr. Crystal's take on recent current events(And Darkness Covered The Face of The Deep, Beautiful Little Kids).
