Centric
In the age of slam poetry, many have forgotten the art of putting poetry to the page. CENTRIC shows the author's versatility as a writer and entices the reader to want to see these poems performed LIVE! It is rare to find a collection of poetry that is as dynamic on the page as it is performed.
Described as an escape from love poetry, CENTRIC examines the source from which Billione's philosophical views emerge. CENTRIC includes By Proxy, There Are No Children Here and the Hearts of Men, a piece from his forthcoming short play the Birth of Mars.
CENTRIC also features Dartanyon Jonez as he offers readers 3 new Another World, That Song and Chances Are. Together, these poets offer sides of themselves that complement each other while standing alone as distinctive writers.
