About the Book

In a world where fleeting pleasures define fulfilment the need for things pointing fallen man to those of more value and true happiness can't be underplayed. This first offering from Sean C. Harrison explores with depth life's real issues of joy, family ties, pain and faith and mortality through verse. Drawing from varied life experiences and those of others, he gives an insightful, tactful gaze upon the finer threads of life's tapestry which furnish a sharper insight into the rare yet familiar elements which produce true happiness. This book pledges an interesting, meditative read not just for Christian faith-based individuals and groups but people of differing persuasions searching for meaning beyond life's mundane meanderings. Its four chapters; Joy in Christ, Joy in Relationships, Joy in Pain and Joy Ever After detail a journey from birth to moribundity giving sources of hope through expertly penned poetry and a rich treasure store of wisdom sure to strike a chord in every reader's heart, evoking a feeling of empathy for the common grounds touched upon in this moving collection.
About the Author: Born and raised in rural Jamaica, Sean is a singer and writer of poetry and music. He was raised by parents, a bus driver/ carpenter and homemaker later trained teacher respectively. His first artistic appearance was at the tender age of 4 years, when he got rave reviews at a local gospel concert. Since then he made a name in his town as a boy wonder, mesmerizing audiences at various functions which he continued to do into adulthood. With minimal education and no formal mentoring Sean subsequently stumbled upon poetry and he developed a deep affinity for the craft. Sean's inspiration stems from life experiences, the most impactful being a 16 year battle with mental illness which, though thought would have destroyed him, made him more determined to sculpt his insights through various artistic expressions. Through his many trials, he found solace in writing poems, songs, proverbs, quotes, short Christian discourses and statements of encouragement which eventually buffered his deep loneliness, a result of most of his immediate relatives emigrating in early adulthood and stages of his illness. In 2011, he took advice from friends and gained success after one of Jamaica's leading newspapers, The Gleaner, published 10 of his poems, 9 consecutively, three (3)having been named poem of the week. He later focused on the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission's Literary Arts Competition, an annual national contest in which he received both a Bronze and Merit Awards. Encouraged yet disappointed by the lukewarm reception, he was determined to produce more work, hone his craft and has recorded much growth in his level of expression with the short lived guidance of a prominent university professor whom he credits with helping him to develop as a writer. He continues to write regularly and as his expressions flow from his Biblical foundation. His works have had a positive impact in the lives of others mainly in the local church he attended from infancy where his works were featured in various departmental programs and he believes they will do the same for any audience they attract. He pens poems on a wide range of topics and is confident his work will resound with many, as though he understands the reality of diversity, he sees our intrinsic natures as being the same, that is trying to interpret and find meaning to life as we move through it's hallways and as he has found solace in writing his inspirations he knows others will find the same on reading his expressions.
