Larry B. Stell unveils his debut poetry collection, "Expressions From Within," a captivating exploration of life, love, and the human soul. This collection of deeply personal poems invites readers on a reflective journey inspired by Larry’s multifaceted experiences, from his formative years in the United States to his adventures across Europe.
"Expressions From Within" is a heartfelt voyage through Larry’s life, capturing the essence of his experiences and emotions accumulated over decades. Larry’s poetry is rooted in a profound encounter with a poet at the University of Southern California in 1960, an event that awakened his love for poetry, a passion that lay dormant until his retirement in 2001.
Reflecting on his years as a secondary teacher and school administrator and dedicated hobbies such as hunting and fishing, Larry’s verses are infused with a sense of nostalgia and introspection. One of the collection’s highlights, "Seasons," emerged from moments of quiet reflection at a rural school in Arkansas, where Larry often substitutes. His time in Arkansas and twenty-five years in Europe, where he passionately pursued hunting, significantly colored his poetic voice.
