Author's Poetry Collection Bound Together By Family, Love And Friendship

For Immediate Release

ROCK ISLAND, Ill./EWORLDWIRE/Oct. 28, 2003 --- The composition of words by every author varies as does its impact on its readers.

Many people consider authors effective when their work causes readers to think intensely about it. Some authors choose to veil the meaning of their poetry in flowery words that cause readers to struggle with its meaning.

What's clear is C.G. Ferrel's 85-poem collection "Think" deals with subjects that everyone can relate to. Written in a way that captures readers' attention, Ferrel's writings use direct language that permits readers to grasp the intention of each poem immediately.

"Our world is fragile," said Ferrel, "Think" author. "By questioning our personal motivations, we inevitably identify ourselves in relation to the world around us."

From childhood through adulthood and beyond, Ferrel links all people in different stages of life. He identifies common threads: family and the bonds created by shared experiences. Life is composed of a series of events - those seemingly ordinary and everyday or unusual and special - from the sun rising and falling to holidays. Ferrel uses his poetry to take a snapshot of a moment of those times and to capture the feelings those events inspire.

"In happiness and joy, in literal and virtual captivity and freedom, people everywhere share similar experiences like those I've written about in my poetry," stated Ferrel.

Ferrel deals with drug abuse and alcoholism, acknowledging their impact on the quality of people's lives.

"I believe feelings of solitude, loneliness and distance from society can contribute to incidences of different kinds of abuse," added Ferrel. "When we as a society begin to create closer ties to our families and the world around us, we each contribute to making this a better world for us and those who follow."

Ferrel recognizes the impact humans have on the environment, and he directs readers to question their understanding of it.

"I want to stir up consciousness about the precious ecological balance between our living and nature so that both of us will survive and prosper," concluded Ferrel.
