The Long Step Forward

By Cecil Douglas Rowlett Jr.

The Long Step Forward is a collection of 80 poems that takes the reader on a voyage through the triumphs and tribulations of the author's life. From his early days as a writer, through the death of his mother, his wedding day, to the death of his wife, and on to new love. The writer shows his pain to the reader and his passion for life all in the same book. He teaches us that life is more than just breathing. It is a journey of ups and downs. From the very first poem, the reader is allowed to see the raw emotion of the author's heart. Throughout the book, the reader is pulled into the author's life and at the end is left knowing that everything is going to be alright in the morning. The Long Step Forward is not just a poetry book, it is a guidebook for all of our lives.
