A Life Silenced Too Soon: National Minority Organ Donation Awareness Day Highlights Poems and Photographs by Carey Hughley, III

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Durham, North Carolina, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) July 20, 2011 -- Join the South Regional branch of the Durham Library and enBloom Media, LLC for a National Minority Organ Donation Awareness Day event. On Monday July 25th at 6:00pm Alisa Hughley, MPH and editor of III Gifts poems and photographs will give an engaging presentation on the national need for registered donors and her personal story as the sister of an organ donor.

Published posthumously from his journals, author Carey Hughley, III chronicles a journey of self-discovery with an idealism and zeal for life characteristics of individuals in their twenties, but tempered by a respect for spirituality and the metaphysical realm well beyond his years. He skillfully uses words to paint beautiful pictures of the natural world around us, evoking the imagery of light, the stars of the night sky, water and the ocean. He was an avid photographer and the selection of his photographs included in III Gifts deftly helps bring his collection of poems to life.
