Excerpt
Men of Many Words
When you’ve spoken and made promises for the future it is important that your actions reflect your words. Men of today often speak without thinking or speak before thinking. We tend to talk to make ourselves feel good; we tend to speak to make those around us hear us. By not following through with what we’ve said, we’ve limited their ability to trust us leaving us only to be heard and not to be listened to; untrusted and not to be trusted.
Inevitably life is filled with unexpected happenings; we can’t hide from error. If you’ve made a promise and are unable to fulfill it, inform the person to whom you’ve promised. Never walk away from your promise assuming that your inability is a mutual understanding. Without proper communication there you leave the person standing, patiently waiting to redeem your words. What you’ve done is discredited yourself and now you’re as good as a book cover without interior content, all talk no substance.
Let your words be those that can be lived according to; let your actions be the deeds of your words. Adhere to the emotions of those patiently waiting for the manifestation of your spoken revelations. This is the only way that you will be noted as a man of integrity, as a man of valor. A full grown man understands the power of his words. For his words contain life and death; the ability to bring hope to the hopeless and the ability to destroy belief in the believing.
Let’s not be men of many words but rather men with a plan, men of action.

True Emotions of a Man: Rewind & Fast Forward". This is not your ordinary book of poems. Rather this is an introduction and re-introduction to the man that you thought you knew. Yes you may have become aquainted with him or close through the years, but in this book, he pours his soul out onto every page; each sentence revealing a deeper part of himself. In addition to the emotion filled poetry, he narrates a story; based on a true story; his life. Navigating through the ups and downs of this man's life, it takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions. In today's AMERICAN society men are not given the opportunities to truly express emotions. If you ask me, it takes a real man to go against the status quo and reveal his heart, mind and soul.

Aaron Hampton has added himself to the pantheon of masculinist thinkers in the tradition of Robert Blywith his third book, True Emotions of a Man: Rewind and Fast Forward. In it, he breaks the mold of the 'true' man holding a stiff upper lip and acting as if nothing ever get's to him and shows his strength through vulnerability.
