The Other Me was based on what I feel is one of the most important misconceptions about an individuals personality. Im sure everyone has been perceived in a certain way by others and for the most part those preconceived notions are wrong. With that said, that puts you in the position to have to defend yourself against those who misjudge you. The Other Me poetry book is my self defense. The poems in the book are broken into four sections that determine the makeup of me and my personality. What will make readers gravitate to this book is the fact that its based on true stories and nothing in this book is fabricated. This is real life with real issues and situations. I like to say the quiet ones have the most to say, but its getting others to hear them thats the problem. So at the conclusion of this book, maybe a few people will finally hear me.

Broken Silence presents a collection of very personal poems that get to the heart of who author James R. Dixon is and what he has to say. He believes that sometimes the quiet ones have the most to say, but getting others to hear them can be a problem. Being di?erent can mean that you may ?nd yourself explaining your actions to others. Dixon has written Broken Silence to explain his feelings and emotions on many subjects that are important to him, as well as to change everyones preconceived notions about him.

After years of being persecuted by others who dont approve of him, Broken Silence is also his break-through collection explaining his thoughts and feelings on relationships and other personal issues. Divided into four sections covering love, emotions, resilience, and good, these verse seek to o?er hope and inspiration to others who are struggling to ?nd themselves in the world.

Love, Attention, and Affection is a three part story elaborating on my trials and tribulations in relationships. It is comprised of three individual stories. But, collectively the three stories combine to tell one ultimate story. Each individual story is represented by a particular color that generalizes the emotions and sentiments of the story. Love is represented by red. Attention correlates to yellow. Affection is strongly associated with purple. With this book I aspire to ignite healthy conversations with people as to what essential functions and components are necessary in order to obtain and maintain a successful relationship.
