In this spellbinding sequel, art and poetry are weaved into professor Erasmus Cromwell-Smith’s memorable recollection of his life’s story. Once more, deviating from the curriculum, he takes his students back to the passionate period in time when, while studying at Harvard, he lived together with the love of his life, Victoria Emerson-Lloyd. The young couple meets book antiquarians throughout New England who become lifelong mentors, sharing with the young couple ancient writings, filled with timeless wisdom and magic.

Geneality provides a triumphant return to the halls of academia, where once again a beloved professor shares inspirational lectures filled with stories, poetry and life lessons that ultimately reveal the omnipotent power of true love…

Topics include gratitude, doubt, inner genius, sacrifice, and an artful circus analogy… At its core, this is a magical work that recognizes the great possibility of life’s second chances. Those who appreciate such Universal musings should seize the moment for this delightful read.

The text muses that art might be the key to maintaining balance through hardships. This work is a testament to the benefits of taking an openhearted stance toward life and learning, arguing that storytelling transmits truth and wisdom in a way that the critical, analytical mind can’t. Passages are poetic, their words were chosen to transmit feelings and sensations, not just convey information. The book free-verse poems could be written out in paragraph form and still remain moving… Geneality makes a biographical story of a teaching experiment, through which ancient wisdom, beauty, art, and optimism are used to provide balance.
