About the Book
Street Corner Majesty is the title of David Harris' first published
book of poetry. This book is about a few years of David's life and how
he tells his story through poetry. David says the most interesting
years of his life started in the Winter of 2001 when he found himself
homeless on the streets of Washington, D.C., cold, hungry and scared.
After
a few weeks on the streets, David discovered the creative writing group
at Miriam's Kitchen, a soup kitchen that serves breakfast to the hungry
and homeless in D.C. The group provided David with a network of
friends, who were also homeless and wrote poetry. David was finding
that poetry gave him a way to express his feelings and experiences on
the streets.
Street Corner Majesty is being published by
AuthorHouse with the financial support of The Pilgrimage. The
Pilgrimage considers David it's "Poet-in-Residence." David's book
should be available in late Spring, 2009. The book will be able to be
purchased on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Borders, and, of course,
from David and The Pilgrimage.
