Author Martin Terrell Explores the Themes of “Unseen Scars” in a Compelling Interview With Benji Cole on People of Distinction

Martin Terrell, celebrated author and master storyteller, recently joined host Benji Cole on People of Distinction Radio for an enlightening discussion about his latest work, “Unseen Scars.” This evocative collection of poetry has captivated readers with its unflinching exploration of life’s complexities and the emotional wounds often hidden beneath the surface.

“Unseen Scars” is more than a book; it is a poignant reflection on urban prejudice, personal growth, and the delicate interplay between humor and pain. From the warmth of familial nostalgia in pieces like “Old Words” to the heartbreaking realities captured in “Dead Men Walking,” Terrell masterfully portrays the highs and lows of life in urban America. The book’s blend of raw truth, biting humor, and tender introspection offers readers a deeply personal yet universally resonant experience.

During his interview with Benji Cole, Terrell delved into the inspiration behind “Unseen Scars” and its themes of resilience, systemic injustice, and the enduring power of storytelling. Reflecting on the humor woven through his work, Terrell shared the light-hearted yet profound wisdom imparted by his Southern Black father: “Don’t drink coffee, it’ll make you Black,” and the son’s witty retort, “I’ve drunk plenty of milk, and it hasn’t made me white.” Such moments epitomize Terrell’s ability to tackle heavy themes with grace and levity.

A seasoned author, Terrell has previously garnered acclaim for his memoir “Without A Compass,” a Gold Non-Fiction Award Winner, and his inspirational narrative “You Are Only Innocent Once and Once Is Not Enough.” These works chronicle his incredible journey from unjust imprisonment to unparalleled professional success.

Terrell’s latest work, “Unseen Scars,” continues this tradition of literary excellence, offering a profound and deeply personal exploration of the scars—both visible and invisible—that shape our lives.
