Straight From the Author

How did you come up with the title for your book?  

              It is what I wrote about in terms of my wife.  If you could add a subtitle what would it be? 너를  만나기전 내사랑은  

                                  List five words that you feel best describes your book? 

            Love, Quest, Compassion, Pure,  Passion

     What is the most fascinating component of the book?

 It is 100 love poems that I wrote from my heart to my wife before I even knew who she was.  

  What are the main ideas of your book? 

That I loved my wife before I met her, I was always seeking her, always thinking about her, always there for her in my heart.  

 That is very powerful Young Ho.

Did you know what she would look like or did you just know she was the one when you met her? I had know clue what she would look like. I figured when that time comes, I would know she is the one.

     Who or what has influenced the writing?

          Love and my wife before I even knew who she was. 

Anything else? In the U.S. there is always something else. What would you say for example to a someone who is having a hard time believing.

I would tell that person if he or she thinks feelings and thoughts are real like the clothes that they are wearing, then they should believe in love too.  These are real genuine poems to my wife before I have met or even knew who she was. No one has written a 100 poems like I have for their future wife or husband for that matter. The poems are touching, inspiring and everyone has related to these poems at least once in their lives before they got married.

About The Book

Award-winning North Carolina Poet Shares Unique Insight into What War Does to the Human Psyche
By Rachel M. Anderson, Contributing Writer
(Charlotte, N.C.) - Growing Flames: Fury & Lavender, scheduled for release in May 2017 by P.R.A. Publishing, is a collection of poems about war that author Emmanuel Kane hopes will inspire conversations about where this country has been and its future.
Kane has never been a soldier, but he has great respect for those who have served and sacrificed for the freedom we hold so dear. “I have a good friend who served in the second World War. My son’s godfather was a General in the U.S. Army. Some of my brothers in the Knights of Columbus served in Vietnam, and I have many friends and students who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Over the years, I have been touched by the stories they have told me about their military experiences. Stories about the horrible things they had to do, how they came to terms with those things, and their longing for home,” he says.
Kane’s friends’ stories, as well as his personal beliefs about the wars and what they represent to mankind, have served as the inspirations for his latest book. So have his experiences traveling around the world lecturing and working for United Nations agencies as a consultant.
“The main reasons I wrote this particular volume were to include my own voice in this ongoing conversation about world politics; to offer a picture of how people view America’s place in the world; and to share the voices of people who have shared with me what it’s like to be a defender of the free world,” says Kane, who adds the tone in his poetry comes from his personal positions about war, and his ideas about the American soldier.
Kane says the majority of the 78 poems in this volume were inspired mainly by the unfortunate events of 9/11 and the resulting wars. However, war isn’t all he writes about in Growing Flames. Kane also writes about the current events he has followed in the news media. Stories making their way through the news cycle are of particular interest to the former Director of International Programs and head of the Department of Language, Literature and Communication at Elizabeth City State University in Elizabeth City, N.C.
“When I observe things, then I feel for the people who are affected by it, and then I write,” he said. Sometimes the ideas for poems come to him late at night. Other times while he’s traveling, or in a quiet place.
“I have little pieces of paper all around the house. I have even written poems on the palm of my hand and on the vomit bags in the seat pockets of airplanes while traveling,” he says. “Whenever I have a quiet moment, a meditative moment, and I am touched by an experience I write.”
