To C~ From G.

Men are known for being non expressive or impassive when

it comes to matters of the heart, but in Teddy Bell’s book,

“To C~ From G.,” readers will experience not only expression,

but also different shades of male sentiments. With an ex-lover

Candace (“C”), as his muse, Griffin (“G”), poetically expresses

his hopes and dreams, his heart’s fulfillment, as well as his hurt

and pain. Readers not only see G’s passion for love, but also how

some women are very capable of hurting men who thirst for it.

Lori Bryant Woolridge’s best selling 2004 novel, “Hitts & Mrs.,”

is where Candace and Griffin were originally conceived, but in

“To C~ From G.,” Poet Teddy Bell expounds on their relationship

and the male emotions that developed within it. G’s feelings are

let loose and set free. However the question still remains…Are

Griffin’s poems a constant reminder that he is still in love with

Candace, or can he truly let go of her memories and move his heart

forward?
