In these poems about love, life and human conflict, the world is seen from the Inside Out. We are mortal beads, acting on the strings of time. In moments of epiphany, all becomes transparent. Dublin's likeable whores, swap wisdom's with old philosophers, while poems about the Cold War, Gaza, CND and life question our spirituality with whispers from Shamen and the Sacred Feminine. Heroes, like JFK, Martin Luther King, Lenin and Che, meet death too soon and find their truths have been betrayed by a society which is now too compounded and complex, but they left us seeds of hope to use, if we don't destroy their infant shoots. The Love poems here, are always romantic and real and sometimes erotic and mystical.They hold everything together with their gentle glueing of emotions. Each thought becomes a grain of sand, that joins its brothers and sisters on the beach, so the whole, makes us what we are, while the tides of time, take us where we are going..Strider.

Reviews

[Paula · Rating 5 out of 5]

Reading these poems is like sitting down with your favourite box of chocolates...a real treat. Each one a delightful gem, that stirs the senses in its own provocative way. Written with so much passion and using the true power of words…Remarkable! xxxx

[Gavin Wilson · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you want to read poetry that makes you think, makes you smile, laugh or cry, then this is the author for you. Sensual, political, clever and ultimately hugely readable, this is poetry that is meant to be read and enjoyed. Wonderful stuff.

[Samantha Terrell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Inside Out is an apt title for this collection by the prolific Strider Marcus Jones, who sacrifices neither raw passion nor truthful observation for his lyrical style. A joy to read!

[Lisbeth Coiman · Rating 4 out of 5]

First book of poetry by talented young new voice.
