The fourth in the Footlocker Series of books published by Robert Nichols, about Paths is another collection of beautiful and moving poetry and thought-provoking essays. Robert artfully takes you with him as he recounts youthful journeys hitchhiking the country, expresses vignette word-sketches of people and places along the way throughout the years, and gives a sense of purpose to the paths all of us take. Read these works and you will know the harsh and enlightening truths of the road, you will contemplate the ugly realities of American racism, you will observe the humor and pathos of the passing scene-you will travel the path of an open-hearted poet.
