The Passion of the Feather Pen

By Rayvon S. Harrell

Hello, reader. I appreciate you taking the time to read and hopefully enjoy my book. The collection of poems combined to make this book was written over a span of seven years. Many of the poems took years to finish to ensure the correct emotions were portrayed through my words. I am hoping that all readers are able to find a poem inside my book that they are able to relate to. No words would be able to describe the joy I would receive knowing that you understood me and could feel my passion. This book was written with the intention to invite any reader to a small piece of my mind. Sharing my thoughts to the world is an accomplishment that I will not take lightly. Please appreciate this book as I appreciate you. Thank you.

Rayvon S. Harrell

Rayvon S. Harrell was born August 23, 1988, in Chesapeake, Virginia. Until Rayvon was eight years old, he was raised by his great-grandmother Clarine B. Allen. Rayvon’s great-grandmother was and still is one of the main inspirations in his life. Her constant dedication to him and his older siblings’ care was noticeably remarkable to him even at a young age. Without the supervision of this woman in his life, it is unsure to gauge the outcome, the type of man this religious, God-fearing woman raised. Rayvon graduated from Indian River High School in 2007. A short year later, he joined the United States Marine Corps, where he served for four years. Due to medical reasons, Rayvon Harrell was medically discharged from the Marine Corps after his first term. While serving his nation, Rayvon learned a deep self-respect and dedication to the United States of America.
