"ON AIR" EP. 237 WIT' JAMES DESHAY

EPISODE 237 WIT' POET JAMES DESHAY ON JERRY ROYCE LIVE (WORLDWIDE) www.jamesdeshay.com (Amazom/Barnes & Noble)Following a six year dream, SC State University alumnus, James T. DeShay’s, ‘83, latest project has finally come to fruition. DeShay is delighted to announce the launch of his latest poetry book, ‘Thoughts, Love & Reflection’. The book is a beautiful display of poetry in which the true emotional depth of men is showcased. Proving that men are able to convey their deepest feelings without fear of being seen as weak, DeShay’s natural talent for moving his readers is evident within every page. “It is my desire to share my thoughts in a way that will benefit all races and genders. I want to dispel a lot the misnomers related to men,” explains the Orlando, Fla. native. He continues, “Stereotypes are a simple way of placing people inside a box; but sometimes the information belief is inaccurate and destructive. When stereotypes are used exclusively, they service only to deny people the wonderful opportunity to discover uniqueness of humanity.” DeShay sincerely hopes that his book will serve to destroy the ageold stereotype that men cannot share or communicate their deepest thoughts. Each page will also serve as an enriching journey into male thoughts relating to life, joy, love, happiness and reflection. “Readers will be able to free and embrace their own emotions, while taking a journey into the emotions of those around them. Above all else, they will be afforded an opportunity to spend many moments simply smiling and reflecting on the depth the poem’s thoughts have travelled in order to become a reality” DeShay adds. Serving as an instructor in the Orange County Public School System for 27 years, Deshay shares that writing has always been a part of his life but ultimately came to full fruition about 8 years ago. Through the process of writing his first book, his ultimate goal was to prove to the world that men have the ability to share their deepest thoughts in a way that bring true beauty to love and romance. Since its publication, the book has done that, being received into the literary world with critical acclaim. “This is exactly the response I am looking for. I’m not out to change the world or find fame and fortune; but rather to prove that the emotions of men can be deeper and more romantic than society depicts” he concludes. Thoughts, Love & Reflection is available now through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Wellsbuilt Museum and select retail outlets.
