SOUL-FULL Poetry
Sophomore release a profound and eclectic poet SOUL-FULL Poetry, by Leo Shelton
Temple Hills, MD - Tugson Press is proud to announce the release of its second publication….SOUL-FULL a book of poetry published by Tugson Press and author/owner Leo Shelton.
A follow-up to his debut release, RHYTHMS – Poetry and Muse, Shelton passionately articulates a love affair of words, between two poets, that is both is deep, articulate, and intense. It is a love affair of spiritual connections, with a profound respect and admiration for words and flow; an emotionally charged dialogue that resonate deep and true through the movements of words, and where the muse and counter is obvious and present but not physically representative.
Another journey of emotions, through reflections, insights, and a dance and flow, that is both uniquely his but shared by the reader—any reader.
Leo Shelton is an author, poet, writer, educator, scholar, and a self-proclaimed life long learner and student of life. An urban renaissance, influenced by the classic works of artists and legends as Maya Angelou, James Baldwin, Nikki Giovanni, Langston Hughes and Marlon Riggs, he also credits influences such as Robert Hayden, Richard Wright, Walt Whitman, and Paul Laurence Dunbar as well as many of the artists today in music, spoken word, and creative expressions like Terrance Hayes, Tim’m West, Common and Floetry, for helping him to find his voice and place in writing.
