Urban Princess is a contemporary love story of a teenage couple and their relationship. It deals with innocent first love, preconceived notions of urban people, and suburban life. When Marc Lindsay, a Beverly Hills preparatory school student, participates in community service in South Los Angeles, the last thing he expects to find is love. Sparks fly when he meets Lisa Banks, a certified nursing assistant and aspiring dancer. In order to win her over, Marc hides his true identity, posing as a streetwise "hood" by day while living in his prep school world at night. Both learn that not all things are as they appear as they struggle to overcome stereotypes and define who they really are.

This volume has two parts: The first section contains "Amoricon," a 25-page verse narrative that focuses on political intrigue and the price of power. "I think that readers can see reflections of contemporary politics in this piece," says the author William Graham. "But its style pays homage to the classical tradition of extended poetic narratives." The second section contains a series of "poetical vignettes" that focus on travel, nature, aging and mortality, among other topics. "I consider much of my work as 'social poetry, ' because I feel that poetry should cast a light on universal societal issues," Graham adds. "In addition, I'm the traditionalist in the sense that I use rhymes in most instances."
