Words of Meaning May Change Our Lives -- New book Brings to Life the Power of Words and Poetry


WASHINGTON, Feb. 24, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Reflection is a personal way of finding meaning in our lives, covering a vast series of issues that include religion, work, dreams and environment just to name a few. In the new book 'De Colored Section, author Walter Irving Ray, Jr., shares his nostalgia, life experiences, and thoughts through a series of reflections and poetry.

In 'De Colored Section, Ray expressed that his poetry will bring meaning to readers and establish a common bond of discussion between men and women. Having served his country in World War II and worked as a business manager in the 1970s, Ray has experienced life in its unlimited forms and countless situations which served as the foundation for 'De Colored Section. He further emphasized that the main themes include nostalgia, love, involvement, forgiveness, and optimism.

'De Colored Section should interest people who enjoy reading poetry and the author hopes that readers will find meaning not only from the book but also in their lives. The book will also appeal to people who feel lost or confused as well as others whose lives have been ruined. Having gone through the many stages and situations of life, Ray wrote his book deep from his heart.
