Tugson Press is proud to announce the release of its first publication, RHYTHMS, a book of poetry published by Tugson Press and author/owner Leo Shelton.
He writes about the realistic rhythms of life, lust, love and loss. He boldly carries the reader on a journey of emotions, through reflections, insights, and a dance, that is both uniquely his but shared by the reader-any reader.
The ramblings of the joys of life, the lust of loins, the beat of loves' heart, and the somber tears of sorrow and loss, create soulful rhythms that can be heard and felt deeply. Realistic musings of both challenges and glories...of life!
It dances, sings, shouts, cries, and soothes and it literally moves as the rhythms of life move.
