One for None

by M.g. Martin

Poetry. ONE FOR NONE is the debut book of poetry from m.g. martin, the host of San Francisco Literary Death Match. The collection is separated into two sections (Spoken & Words) reflecting all his styles. martin tackled the spoken word and wrestled it onto the page until his rhythm and cadence sang with the poem. His written section blends style and tradition; an understanding of how the poem works and a diligence to completely break the rules. The poems expand and contract on his whim, are minimal and expansive at the same time. ONE FOR NONE speaks from an old soul in the lingo of the hippest poet in the city.
