Rk Photo Superintendent Martin Graham releases book of poems SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE Collins Graham, who works as a residential man ager at the local non-profit Experiment In Self Reliance (ESR), has released a col lection of poetry. "Poems from the Heart" features a variety of pieces penned by Graham that reflect various aspects of life. The set of poems were written from 1970-2012. It is his hope that the collec tion "captivates hearts and motivates readers with faith, love and goodness and illus trates the power of the unwavering numan spirit, which flourishes even in times of adversity and trials." A native of Winston-Salem, Graham graduated from KJ. Reynolds High School. As an adult, he took taekwondo classes, which he says helped boost his self-esteem and get his creative juices flowing. His poetry was published in The Chronicle's now-defunct Poetry Comer. Graham is also a budding screen writer who has collaborated on a number of short films. Graham, a proud Christian, is a married father of two children. For more information on this book, go to wwwJClibris.com and enter his name in the search feature.
