TEMPLE HILLS, MD - August 30, 2007 - Poetry lovers can now indulge in
what Wyatt O'Brian Evans calls a "gourmet meal for the poetry
connoisseur." Leo Shelton's new publication "Rhythms" is a book of
poetry that touches on every emotion of life - life's joy, love,
sadness and loss, lust of loins, and triumph.
"Rhythms" is the first book to be published by Shelton's own
publishing company, Tugson Press. The book will be followed by other
inspiring works by Shelton and other authors, and promises a great
following among poetry fans.
In the book, Shelton captures the feelings of every man, woman, and
child as he relates the realistic rhythms of life. The reader takes a
deep, poetic journey into the emotions of man that is enticing,
challenging, and stimulating.
"Leo Shelton's 'Rhythms' is a window into the brave vulnerability of a
modern-day prophet. In this promising debut, Shelton provides a
glimpse into, not just a world that he's so passionately lived, but a
world we know, pass by, move through, to begin again in," states Tim'm
T. West, author, Red Dirt Revival, BARE, and Flirting.
Shelton feels the book can benefit and inspire readers from all walks
of life, no matter what they're going through. He states, "Readers can
relax and enjoy "Rhythms" as it dances, sings, shouts, cries, and
soothes... it literally moves as the rhythms of life move."
Wyatt O'Brian Evans, an actor/comedian, voice talent/instructor,
writer and author, found Shelton's book to be engaging for the mind
and feels Shelton has a unique voice that comes alive in written word.
Evans says, "Shelton's ´Rhythms´ is a remarkable, impressive work,
with ´dat´ distinct urban feel. Its words, phrases and sentence
structure all have movement - they throb, they pulsate, they sway,
they dance."
