Johnny Tel: Unmasked is the 2nd collection of poetry published by Michael David Correro. Unlike his first poetry collection, The Tiniest Seed, this collection unleashes the many dark stories the poet has historically witnessed in Mississippi and Georgia, which have shaped his life into what it is today-an extraordinary voice in modern poetry. The selected poems in Johnny Tel: Unmasked will take you on a deep and soulful journey through over thirty years of the poet's view of the world. Johnny Tel is the poet in Mr. Correro's heart, who has had to conceal the many experiences, which only a Southern upbringing would have allowed until now. In conclusion, Mr. Correro's writing has been reminiscent of one of his greatest literary voices of the South, but only in a whisper will you hear it...Faulkner.
This collection of poetry was written between 1987 and 2004; however, it serves as a personal memoir of my own life. The story-tale fashion of each poem represents a deep impression upon my heart and soul, whether created by the influences of an individual or a reflection of an incident by which I was branded. This collection of poetry was titled as such, because with every event in our lives, and with each contact we experience with another person, there is an effect upon each of us, whereby we are changed. Therefore, when I come into contact with anyone, I conscientiously consider what influence I will have upon them. For, I realize now, just how powerful we can affect the lives of those around us, so I do my best to give away to all whom I meet-The Tiniest Seed.
