Defining Atlas

By Stone Michaels

In his debut book of poetry, Michaels captures the various characteristics of life. He tantalizes his readers with the human condition, which is consistently challenged by its spirituality. His colorful collection passes through the heart and soul of our darkest and brightest moments of our journey through life. Exiting with a graceful bow and standing ovation, Michaels projects a thriving vision and striving purpose that we are defining and refining ourselves while enduring like the great Greek Titan Atlas, who's symbolized with a timeless image of a man carrying the world on his back. And like that Titan, we carry a certain poise and tenacity of the brunt of a forever-changing world. In his works, he shows us that strength, heartache, love, courage, and most importantly sincerity, play an intimate experience to our destiny. From a southern-raised adolescent to a military veteran to corporate America, Michaels believes that you should never be a victim of your circumstances but a victim of God's success! Like Atlas, it takes endurance to live life. He presses and challenges us to be more than our present. Growing up in a family comprised of ministers, veterans, nurses, and educators, he absorbs the combination of hard work and spiritual humility. His lasting impression that he would like to leave for future generations is simply to encourage a despaired heart.
