Download or read book Screaming Whispers written by Kelvin Brown and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where is it within ourselves that we find honesty and truth? A place where the playing field is leveled from disingenuous facades of truth and loyalty. The place where we lay naked, bare who we truly are as individuals. it is our emotions, those mixtures of complex feelings that are difficult to grasp and contain when we are truly touched by some person or event. What is the origin that causes the explosive or suppression of our inner nature of passion? Screaming Whispers is a collection of poems that I have written that express the feelings and situations of women that I have met in my life. My emotions were touched by some of the lives of women that I have known. Some of the lives I write about have been so gut wrenching and inspiring, that pen to paper was my way of expressing my feelings. These poems touch on so many levels of emotions: encouragement, failure, heroism, rape, love, domestic violence, joy, infidelity, appreciation, humor and more. It is with great sincerity that this author seeks to touch every reader that connects personally with the poems read. Each and every poem contained within this book is true and has a face. I hope that everyone can understand why I was touched to write these poems. I also hope that no one has experience all of them.

Can't Hold Me Back is the story of DJ's extraordinary journey. And in an ever-changing and sometimes irrational industry (and world), DJ offers all of us just the right tonic of inspiration and guidance. "DJ is an accomplished sales leader.
