  • "Unleashed" by Andre D. Williams
  • See Book Cover below
    Poems About Family, Fight, Inspiration and Motivation

    Unleashed is a powerfully enriching forty-poem book that was written with the intent of depicting the life many people would like to live or already are living. The intentions of each poem are to cause people to reflect on life, think about the future, about loving themselves and others, about the importance of family, and about ways to motivate themselves and others. The majority of my poems have no rhyme because they are done more so in the spoken-word format, which has allowed me to get more passionate and deeper, in many cases offering both graphic and humorous details. I titled the book Unleashed because I am unleashing my feelings, my fears, emotions, desires, and details of my trials and triumphs, all the while wondering how many other people in the world want to be unleashed within their minds and just be free to live life as they so wish and pray.

    ANDRE D. WILLIAMS grew up in TakomaPark, Maryland, graduated from Montgom-ery Blair High in Silver Spring, Maryland,and attended the University of Maryland,where he completed his education in 1991.

    He has worked at the Washington Post, the Montgomery Journal in Montgomery County, Maryland, the Binghamton Press & Sun Bulletin, and the Morning Call in Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, 1994 to the present. He also has done extensive radio and television broadcasting. Mr. Williams is a single father. He and his son, Chevon, currently live in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
