All About Life - Paperback

With an intensity of understanding and a straightforward wisdom, Johnny Albritton, Jr. writes poetry that is, indeed, All About Alife.

In This, his debut collection of published verses, Mr. Albritton examines the spiritual and physical life of a man, and how one deals with each from day to day. His poems burst forth with images about everyday life that range in the theme form criticizing apathy to celebrating one's newfound relationship with the Lord. It is not often readers of fine religious poetry get to absorb a man's vision of the world that is not condescending but uplifting in its intent. Johnny Albritton, Jr, certainly achieves that, and much more.

The poet recognizes that he and his readers have to answer to God every day, but how to do is the key. Are hearts opened in joyful song? Or the lower depths of society, those that can only cause harm, sought out? In poems such as Job the Man" "Chasing After the Wind" and "What's Going On?" to name but a few, Mr. Albritton's keen wit, sensitive lament, and define optimism are clear. In others, such as "What Happened to Justice?" and "A Prayer for Mankind" he continues to clarify today's state of affairs as he sees it, whether good or bad, right or wrong. Whatever your present state of mind, the poems in All About Life, by Johnny Albritton, Jr., have that unique ability to entertain inform and enlighten.
