"Cordell’s short stories are illuminated by characters who are in search of a true self; a testament to who we want to be in life and who we choose to be.  Complex characters whose emotions and experiences are empowering to the human mind.

The sounds of his poetry resonate with human experience.  Each poem written as if taken from a page of our lives.  One of the most fascinating for me is “A Touch of Madness.” It opens with:

Love is, first, a touch of madness,
A quaking desire filling the spirit,
With unimagined sensation that begins in the soul.   

He proves to be an extraordinary addition to the literary world; leaving you to wonder where he has been all along."
