Forbidden Fairways: African Americans and the Game of Golf. – book reviews
Golfing history is not high on the list of favored subjects for most Americans. Moreover, yet another painful recitation of the darker side of American history involving race relations is about as welcome to most people as a politician’s confession that taxes are going up. To his consummate credit, Calvin Sinnette succeeds not only in telling a story that needs to be told, but does so without rancor and with a style and grace that bespeaks his own love of the game of golf.

Whispers, Secrets and Promises. – book reviews
Love has strange powers; its control is unexplainable. Love can singe souls, lift spirits, weaken the most resistant knees with abrupt force. Love can inflate or deflate human hearts. Indeed, love can charge emotion into an abundance of affection. Poets have a way of rendering a clear view of love and how it affects those people where love harbors permanently or slips away to leave permanent scars.
