"A Book of Poems" Dedicated to Music Fans Everywhere Now Released

"A Book of Poems" is a collection of works reflecting a dynamic change and growth of a poet. The
experiences of the streets from traveling the US and other parts of the world and experiencing
different cultures have infused a sense of gratitude to share with others. From the Island of Jamaica
to Connecticut, to the streets of New York and the tent city in Los Angeles and traveling to various
cities around the world instilled a cultural richness expressed in this two-volume book of poems.

Norwalk, CT, March 25, 2019 --(PR.com)-- NedGJean Publishing has announced March 16th, 2019, the
release of "A Book of Poems," (ISBN-13: 978-1090359513 ISBN-10: 1090359519) by, author, musician,
and poet, NEDDY Smith.

He continues to craft not only original music and song lyrics, but also has authored a novel and most
recently, his latest book of poems in paperback, Kindle eBook and the pending release of the audio
recordings in April.

Neddy has committed himself to create and perform his poems accompanied by music layered in the
background for worldwide distribution.

His current book entitled “A Book of Poems,” is dedicated not only to his music community and fans but
also to the newfound audience for his writings and especially his free-flowing poems.

To Neddy Smith, his truth is reverence especially to his fans who have given him their time for him to
attain the heights and opportunity to enjoy the hard work he so happily loved to distribute and perform to
a worldwide audience.

In 2018, Neddy collaborated with two groups of poets, Poem Ally's Ralph Nazareth who requested to
publish one of his poems, "Ode To A Friend." Also, with Laurel Peterson, Poet Laurel of Norwalk,
Connecticut, in 2018. She graciously invited Neddy to add one of his poems, "It's A Bird's Life." A studio
recording of the poem followed the chapter book as one of the participated poets in the OYSTERVILLE
project.

“A Book of Poems” initially was intended for release as two separate books/volumes. Neddy later
decided to combine these ideas in a single published work due to his second poetry book pending release
date.

For Neddy, it's a journey of a lifetime to accomplish not only his working with the creative community,
such as AJ Brown, Brad Little, and performing around the world as a musician, educator, and a recording
artist but also as an author and poet carving out a new path.

Recording the poems and the music for this project was a sincere and heartfelt moment. This book is a
dedication to Neddy's Jazz fans from the past to present as he's journeying through the next phase of his
life while sharing precious memories from his experiences to give the world and his new-found love of

you want to live then go ahead and live it.' The love for my father is never-ending. I am grateful to him

new poetic voice speaking freely and sharing his journey through poetry.”
