People of the Future / Day Youssef Khalim

Khalim's first book of poetry, this is a reprint and minor revision of the 1978 original. Readers select Marsha (Ahsram), A Sister, Som'n 'Bout Land, Of Love Affairs, J. L. Robinson II, Love Now, and I Love You as favorites. People of the Future/Day was reviewed by Gwendolyn Brooks, former Poet Laureate of Illinois. While writing his book about reincarnation, The Resurrection of Noah, Khalim discovered three monumental facts: on 8/4/1999, that he is the reincarnation of Thomas Jefferson. On 2/23/02, he got confirmation that Thomas Jefferson is Jacob, father of the 12 boys (whose offspring became known as Israel), and on 5/2/00, that The Prophet Muhammad is the reincarnation of Moses. People of The Future/Day reinforces the evidence that the author is Thomas Jefferson, resurrected again about 200 years after the beginning of that life cycle. Considering subsequent works by the author, this book presents an interesting look at how he has evolved and developed, as a person, writer, and thinker.
