:GRAY:

by Mario Velez

A poetry book about the things that are not solid, that are not set, that are not black and white yet feel- just as real. For the things that cannot be found out and for the mysteries that maybe one day can be sounded out. For now we must sit in the mist. The fog of wondering and the dread of misunderstanding. We must wade through the bog of unknowns with the heavy rains of sorrow and despair that come with them. Otherwise in the gray they will stay, all those things that lead to answers. We must go through these dark days and work through the gray in order to find a way to make our stay better. More enjoyable. More or less, comfortable. Even if that means making sense of something senseless in a meandering way. Like reading poetry from a stranger to feel better about today.

About the author

Mario Velez was born in Athens Greece in 1990. Then raised in Puerto Rico and educated in Texas until maturity. He has always possessed and still retains a vivid and storied imagination. An amateur filmmaker in his youth he settled down and focused on his wife and kids in Michigan for a time. During his idleness, he never stopped writing about the things he imagined, the people he met, the thoughts he had, and the deep well of curiosities and feelings he experienced about everything. Now it's time to share those visions and his Quixotic attitude with the world.
