After the initial "Empty Buckets" collection, author C. L. Lewis has returned with a second installment of poetry and expression. In volume two, Tracing the Blueprint, he continues to capture the story of his journeys and experiences. He builds on the momentum from his first piece with more heartfelt displays of his life and observations. In addition he turned himself to the classic poetry of Langston Hughes for both inspiration and a comparative understanding for the evolution of society. During this reflection, C. L. Lewis has created a poetic body of work that is socially conscious, thought-provoking, internal and idealistic.
