Samuel Joseph Gordon

Riverhead Samuel Joseph Gordon

A Jamaican journalist and poet publishes a collection of piercing poems, none of which are younger than ten years old, dedicated to his late mother, Grace Walker Gordon, teacher, lecturer, poet and grammar text( New Junior English Revised) writer. Gordon is a member of a pioneering home-schooled family in Jamaica. His insights have come through years spent not only in homeschool but also working in media, the prisons, and spent in intense research. The age of the poems do nothing to detract from the pungency of their message. Gordon is a prodigal son, with a wealth of experience. Here's to coming home. The words, Son, Dont Walk in my Footsteps, were his mothers last words to him before dying.
