MASTER POET CHARLIEWANG
Born Charles Wayne Felder, nicknamed "Charliewang" at an early age, completed high school while in the Marine Corp and was a proud member of the Marine Corps "Silent Drill Team" at Marine Barracks 8th & I, performing special military drill functions for the White House and its dignitaries and the general public. Later secured a degree in Business from Darton College, Albany, GA and attended Albany State University, Albany Ga. As an entrepreneur, time is divided between running a successful business and following the love for poetry as it presents itself
The seed was planted at a very young age to become a Master Poet. At age 17, without warning, the writing became matter of fact until thirty years later. Indoctrination back to poetry was a slow process consummating in the late nineties with public appearances and the beginning of putting poetry on paper for publication. Recent completion of a poetry Cd titled A SEASON OF POETRY has captured the attention of the public commanding personal appearances and readings. Appearances during 2004 in New York, New York, St Louis, MO, Montgomery, AL, Spartanburg, SC and Atlanta, GA are some of the areas toured and have earned raved reviews. During a presentation to an English Literature class of Dr. Tim Askew, Professor at Clark Atlanta University, Atlanta, GA, tagged his accomplishments in poetry to be great as, if not greater than, those of Langston Hughes. Discovering the world to be the canvas of words many subject areas are broached and eloquently put to poise.
Other accomplishments include but not limited to working with troubled male youth of Alabama as a Drill Instructor for the State of Alabama and instrumental in the establishment of the Alabama Boot Camp Program; as well as, serving as personal mentor to several young men in the city of Montgomery, AL, having established a venue for providing training for young men interested in floor installation and maintenance. A member of Toast Masters International ( "Tun Tavern" 1980-1982); holder of a Black Belt in Martial Arts and an avid chess player.
The love of poetry is well established as an anointed and appointed way of life and will serve as an avenue that the public will share. Each season will provide new nuances from the heart and mind of one Master Poet determined and focused on leaving a legacy.
