Your
Chance to Hear The Last Panther Speak
by Chase Von packs a huge literary ‘punch’ with Poetry, Song Lyrics,
Quotes and Short Stories.
Author Chase Von is
so talented; one book can barely contain him.
Covering just about
everything from love, relationships, war, society, the streets,
Race, Peace, Family and Religion Mr. Von has introduced himself as
a new artist with a fresh and exhilarating way of expressing himself
while giving readers a variety of literary genres to enjoy.
Your Chance to Hear The Last Panther Speak (ISBN-10:
0976678705) is original, unique and exceptional. Chase Von’s poetry
is written with message and intent. From “Wrap That” and “The
Mindset of a Gangster” to “Peace” and “Pink, Blue and Green” Chase
speaks to the younger generation with ‘street-speak’
philosophy. In a recent interview the author said,
“I
would like to say that although some of it is raw, much of it is
not. I just address a large array of topics so that everyone,
regardless of where they are in life might have something in this
book which they may be able to relate to. Not all in life is sweet
but in most cases, even in the negative things I write about, there
is a positive message. "Wrap That" is about contracting AIDS but
the message there is that if you protect yourself, chances are you
won't have to go down that path. It's told in a manner that although
the content is adult, is really effective for reaching the younger
people. One could almost say it reads like a rap. Younger people
are engaging in sex, and the language used in the poem is probably
mild compared to what a lot of young people are exposed to and use
daily. A few teachers and others I have met have told me they think
it should be in Colleges around the nation to increase awareness
regarding unprotected sex and the possible consequences. You don't
hear much about them now days, but at one point in California
"Raves" where things you heard quite a bit about in the news.
Ecstasy, dancing, and often loose drug induced behavior, so it some
what describes that kind of a scenario as well.”
Your Chance to Hear The Last Panther Speak
successfully gives the reader a break with inspiring and innovative
quotes and song lyrics. Referring to his motivation to write
original quotes and song lyrics the author says,
“Quotes
are things that people use as mantras for guiding their very lives.
One that I have used often is "This too shall pass!" The great
thing about writing them is hoping that people will use them in
their lives as well… As for song lyrics, another "immensely" is
warranted here as well. Main Ingredient is an older group that
I always thought had such meaningful lyrics. Prince is an
exceptional poet, as well as Sade and Smokey Robinson, Bread is
another one that comes to mind. Lyrics are really poetry to
me, with a chorus and bridge in most cases.”
The last portion of
Your Chance to Hear The Last Panther Speak are a
collection of short stories. Just when you think the author is
running out of gas he hits his stride strong and compelling. “The
Tree and the Butterfly” is an instant classic and “The Bum” is a
story you will be thinking about for a long time after you have put
the book down.
Your Chance to Hear The Last Panther Speak is the
name of the book but if we are lucky Von Chase has more in his mind,
heart and soul to share with the world. Your Chance to Hear The Last
Panther Speak is phenomenal, rare, remarkable and unprecedented.
