“Letters of Life: Whispers, Secrets, & Lies” by Vernon A. Nealy is now available for purchase
“On the verge of conventional truth
Man harbors on the bane,
For it’s his peers he tends to please
Who give reverence to his name.
But what a perpetual web we spin
With hypocrisy as our mask,
To extend our cup with society filling it up
Equity is what we ask.”
– an excerpt from the book
Author Reputation Press is honored to publish “Letters of Life: Whispers, Secrets, & Lies” by Vernon A. Nealy. The book is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and the ARP website.
The author’s poetry openly provides insight into understanding life’s entanglements. The mind and soul are integral parts that lend themselves to the fundamental moral values expressed by the heart. Beneath the surface of these memoirs lies a parable of verity, which is fitting. Truth harbors no excuses, nor does it answer anyone.
It is by itself by far the most emancipated attribute of all. For in truth, there is love. In love, there is understanding. In understanding, there is forgiveness. Whispers will cease, Secrets will be revealed, and Lies will manifest themselves, but the truth shall remain evident.
Vernon A. Nealy is an American native, born in Passaic, New Jersey, in the early 1950s. After graduating high school, he attended Florida A&M University in Tallahassee. His field of concentration was Fine Arts, with a minor in sociology. As an art major, he created a series of cartoon strips for the school newspaper, The FAMUAN. After graduation, Mr. Nealy began working as an art teacher for the Paterson School District, Paterson, New Jersey, and also as a freelance artist and fashion designer for young people’s fashion wear for various New York-based companies. During his spare time, he exercises his gift for writing poetry and prose. “Letters of Life: Whispers, Secrets, & Lies” is an excellent collection of poetry.
“Letters of Life: Whispers, Secrets, & Lies” is a collection of perceptive, achingly honest poems that offer a decisive view that makes no apologies. These verses attempt to simplify rather than complicate the common ills that plague humanity, often providing insight into life’s often messy entanglements.
These poems are divided into three separate sections. In “Whispers” we examine those things that people speak softly about under their breath. The poems in “Secrets” reflect a pool of applied wisdom and answers to personal questions. And “Lies” deals with rumors, half-truths, and false impressions. Tying all the poems together is an undercurrent of truth. “For in truth, there is love, in love, there is understanding. In understanding, there is forgiveness.”
In this stunning collection, whispers will cease, secrets will be revealed, and lies will manifest—but the truth will remain evident throughout.
