Clifton Cameron

About

My name is Clifton Cameron and i am a writer and poet. My favourite hobbies are writing poems, short stories and I am also working on two books a novel and a book of short stories. Writing helps to challenge my energy in a positive way. The things that I like most is to use my poetry as a voice to help motivate, educate and inspire people all over the world.  

My interest in poetry took place while I was in detention. The first time I came across poetry was at primary school. Being away from family and friends gives me the desire and drives to write. I chose poetry because of its expressive nature. Most of my poems tells a story. Which i invite the reading public to listen to.

I am not afraid to tackle difficult issues or topics. The poem for my grand mother is real and very dear to me. The day my grand mother died is dedicated to my Nan and all the grand mothers all over the world. Single mother is very important and I have great respect to all single mothers who struggle on their own to raise their kids. Delinquent dads are a disgrace.

I would love to see Black, white, Asian and all nation lives as one. What a wonderful world it would be. We are all God children so all of us should live as one. I have some good work to come out after this book. Thanks for your time and please enjoy the poems.

To buy my book please go to: www.tesco.co.uk, www.whsmith.co.uk, www.waterstone.co.uk, www.border.com, www.amazon.com

 God bless you all my friends and fans.

Description

<p><b>The absorbing, definitive account of CrossFit's origins, its explosive grassroots growth, and its emergence as a global phenomenon.</b><br /> <br />One of the most illuminating books ever on a sports subculture, <i>Learning to Breathe Fire </i>combines vivid sports writing with a thoughtful meditation on what it means to be human. In the book, veteran journalist J.C. Herz explains the science of maximum effort, why the modern gym fails an obese society, and the psychic rewards of ending up on the floor feeling as though you're about to die. <br /> <br />The story traces CrossFit’s rise, from a single underground gym in Santa Cruz to its adoption as the workout of choice for elite special forces, firefighters and cops, to its popularity as the go-to fitness routine for regular Joes and Janes. Especially riveting is Herz’s description of The CrossFit Games, which begin as an informal throw-down on a California ranch and evolve into a televised global proving ground for the fittest men and women on Earth, as well as hundreds of thousands of lesser mortals. <br /> <br />In her portrayal of the sport's star athletes, its passionate coaches and its “chief armorer,” Rogue Fitness, Herz powerfully evokes the uniqueness of a fitness culture that  cultivates primal fierceness in average people. And in the shared ordeal of an all-consuming workout, she unearths the ritual intensity that's been with us since humans invented sports, showing us how, on a deep level, we're all tribal hunters and first responders, waiting for the signal to go all-out. </p>
