The Glass: Reflections of a Realistic Idealist
"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me."
Whoever uttered these words must never have heard the worst words. Words bear immeasurable potency, whether they are spoken or written. As an unknown speaker once remarked, "A tongue has no bones, but it is strong enough to break a heart. Be careful with your words."
Inspired by such words, in The Glass: Reflections of a Realistic Idealist, author Kennyrich chooses to use words wisely. With uncanny wordplay and creative tact, he brings to life an inspirational and entertaining mental, emotional, and spiritual adventure.
Using a seamless combination of poetry, prose, short stories and free verse, he leads the reader in exploring diverse, critical human topics, experiences, sentiments, challenges, and concerns, with one unified purpose at their core--to enrich your life one word at a time.
The Black Plagues: United We Stand, Divided We Fall
"Is a lion in a cage still king of the jungle?"
With this seeming riddle, wordsmith, poet and motivational speaker, Kennyrich, creatively and tactfully constructs this unapologetic narrative about the enigmatic African-American race. Notably, about what makes this population of infinite potential our own worst enemy, and arguably, the most prominent contributors to what is wrong with the black culture in America.
Using his signature writing style which infuses a seamless blend of poetry and prose, Kennyrich paints a vivid picture that highlights longstanding plagues that continue to afflict black people in the United States today.
In truth, you may be offended by the controversial words herein, or you may well find yourself in agreement with them. All the same, you will ultimately be impacted and perhaps even enriched by the bold and candid perspectives they offer on race relations in 21st century America.
