Verbalizions of Enlightenment: The Secret to the Pain [Paperback]

Eric L. Farrell (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 2002

Verbalizions of Enlightenment is far more than one might expect from a book of poetry. It's a spiritual piece of art. In addition to its inspirational purpose, the author also sculpted this book to be an exhibition of artistry and creativity. It contains soul-stirring stories and powerful messages poetically conveyed through the eyes of the writer. He is able to capture the average person's feelings of wonder, curiosity, fear, abandonment, confusion and disappointment and put them into words in a way that provides understanding to life's everyday struggles, while walking the reader through his own healing process. It doesn't hide behind extensive imagery or far-fetched imagination. It's not confined to one group of people and it does not need permission to tell the shocking truth. It addresses society's common escapes of life's troubles, such as drugs, alcohol, sex, and materialism and their consequences. The poems appear simple enough to be understood by the average non-reader, while at the same time, containing enough depth and hidden complexity to be read over and over by those who seek deeper significance.

Eric Farrell's Verbalizions Of Enlightenment: The Secret To The Pain is an 80-page compendium of soul-stirring stories and powerful messages showcases in a poetry written to convey a process of healing from the stresses and abuses that life inevitably imposes upon most of us. Lotto Motto: Look at that airplane/That's your role model/You played like you was plane/Since babies tipping bottles//You'll crash just like a plane/When "We Get High!" turns to your motto/You admire rich planes/But they just played the lotto//I got something to say/Right now, for then/When you play the lotto/You either lose, or you win//Listen to me now/Or listen to me when/You could win a whole lot/Or your life could end...Take heed.

Farrell takes us out of this world full of negativity and shows us the light in his book, "Verbalizions Of Enlightenment: The Secret To The Pain". I found myself going through life altering situations right after I bought this book. I would grab this book and take my daily dosage of therapeutic words. Now upon completion of the book, I finally know the secret to the pain.

This review is from: Verbalizions of Enlightenment: The Secret to the Pain (Paperback)

This book of poetry is well-written and addresses some of the everyday issues faced by all of us. Eric, an outstanding word artist, touches them rhythmically and in beautiful timbre. This is some outstanding modern poetry that speaks from the heart of God to God's people.
