Of the Beauty

By: Lafayette Watts Jr.

Of the Beauty is an accumulation of poems Lafayette Watts Jr. has written from years dating back to 2015 up until now. Each one is an visual representation of who he is, who he's become, what he was, things he's dealt with, and his hopes for the future. Readers can relate to his happiness as much as they can relate to his pain. We're all human. This is who he is.
