West Hartford, CT - July 29, 2003 -- Connecticut Author Tyrone V. Banks was recently interviewed by two Connecticut Publications. His first article appeared in the Connecticut Journal and a second article appeared in the West Hartford Life Newspaper.

The August 3, 2003 issue of the West Hartford Life Newspaper (Aug 03, Vol. 7, Issue 4) was delivered to over 25,513 West Hartford Residents on July 26, 2003. West Hartford Life Editor Mark Jahne writes, "...what if the melting pot is more like a cauldron of boiling oil? What if all that diversity brings along with it negative stereotypes, racial intolerance and general misunderstanding? Tyrone Vincent Banks knows all about that. It's why the Elmwood resident recently published his first book of poetry, "Under the Melting Pot." It is published by PublishAmerica, LLP of Baltimore, an on-line publishing service. His book is deeply personal. It deals with the challenges he faced when he first met his future wife, Nydian, and quickly discovered that her family wanted nothing to do with him because they are Latino (from Colombia) and he is African-American."

The Editor of the Connecticut Journal, Joan Hunt, recently interviewed Mr. Banks and his story was the lead for the July 11, 2003 issue. About "Under the Melting Pot" she writes; "He (Banks) has written a book of poetry about the experience called Under the Melting Pot, which is not only a testament to his patience and devotion, but also a great love story that will inspire others to follow his guide."

Mr. Banks will be appearing at Borders Books & Music, 1600 South East Road, Farmington, CT 06032 on September 24, 2003 at 7:30 PM. Copies of his book will be available for purchase at this event or you may bring your own personal copy for the author to sign.
