Riassunto:

Norman Riggs, Jr., began writing poetry at the age of fifteen. Influenced by the Civil Rights Movement and the Avondale riots in Cincinnati, Ohio, Riggs devoted many of his early writings to the grief and anguish felt by African Americans in the 1970s and 1980s. While Riggs raised his family, he found himself in coaching and mentoring positions. He leaned on his own experiences and spiritual beliefs to promote the importance of education, positive thinking and non-violence, to the young people in his care.Their children grown, Riggs and his wife, Darlene, continue to live in the Cincinnati neighborhood of Avondale. This is his first, free-form poetry collection and contains works dating back to 1986. Lil of a Lot (and then some) offers readers an authentic glimpse into the day-to-day thoughts of a humble man living in the inner city, and how intentional prayer and spirituality enabled him to reorder feelings, priorities, and relationships, and embrace the ordinary miracles in everyday life.
