    About this ebook

    Tome (tm) n. Fr< L tomos, 1 [Obs.]
    any volume of a work of several
    volumes 2 a book, esp., a large,
    scholarly or ponderous one.
    The Tome of the Unknown Poet
    is a generous introduction of the
    imaginative, witty, and contemporary
    writing of the author. It has been in
    the making for a period of more than
    50 years. Its content has emerged
    from several sources and directions
    as varied as the subjects they portray.
    Some have evolved from personal
    experiences of the author, others from
    the antics and sometimes frustrations
    of others as viewed by the author.
    There was no attempt during its
    evolution at a methodical recording
    and preservation of material but a
    willy-nilly writing on whatever
    was at hand (a limerick was rescued
    from the cardboard center of a roll of
    toilet tissue).
    There are, by and large, echoes and
    refl ections throughout this writing of
    incidents and events that, at sometime,
    took place in the life of the author.
    Although there has been an attempt
    to categorize and catalog the material
    to some degree, it still is, overall, a
    literary slice of life.

    Alfred T. Mitchell

    Alfred Mi t c h e l l is a native of Wilmington, North Carolina. At the age of eighty-three, he has compiled an extensive repertoire of poems, epigrams, and other literary expressions. Some have originated from his own true life experiences while most have been inspired by the antics of others. Soon after graduating fi rst in his class from Williston Industrial High School in 1943, he became the fi rst black state-licensed building contractor in New Hanover County, North Carolina. He enrolled for a short period at UNC Wilmington at the age of seventy-five. He is a minister and has most recently written a weekly column called Little Sermons for a local newspaper.
