Free to Live, Free to Love: Volume 1

By E.C. Addison Steele

Free To Live, Free To Love is a book loaded with expressive musings about life, love, and everything in between and releases powerful darts aimed at readers’ core—rapt at touching all the right heartstrings.

This book is a genuine insignia of the truths echoing deep within the poet’s heart and soul. These truths are the blaring bellows of dominant feelings and reflective thoughts for emancipation. Steele has creatively captured the essence of life and love, bound them into his carefully woven poems, and gently fused them to other germane themes to make this wonderful book. The poems in this collection are subtle renditions hoisted straight from the heart of the poet offering a glimpse of the beauty and grace of life, the mystery and power of love, and the diversity and gist of worthwhile thoughts that run docile within the his mind.

An absolute poetic journey and adventure await readers in this anthology that governs a gamut of evocative poems ready to strike them with hope and inspiration—two radiant truths that will allow them to experience living a beautiful, more significant life.

E.C. Addison Steele

After spending years, helping young people navigate the intricacy of life, a friend, Yaderia, encouraged me to write a book about the thing I speak freely of; honestly, I never thought of that before. After giving it months of consideration, I decided to pen my thoughts. Most of my life, I did everything free, never once charging a cent, for I came from a culture that believes in the concept, “It’s better to give than to receive,” and when you give, do so with a smiling heart. I was born in Grenade, a small Caribbean island, and as a small child, my mother took me to Trinidad where I took my education right up to college. I also went to the Open Bible Theological College. I was a youth minister for years in the Pentecostal churches. So coming from that background, I just love to give of my heart and help at any given time. Over the years, I have helped so many reposition their lives, who, for whatever reason, thought that life was not worth living. But thank God for His grace and peace; today they are living productive lives. My life had its fair share of ups and downs, but I can tell you, life is beautiful on this spectrum of my journey. Nothing can faze me now, for in my short life I have helped many, whom I love dearly. To you, I say, you are all my friends, and you are my comfort. I love people; I love humanity. Be strong and be well, for we all share a common community, a common home—Earth
