These are poetic, musical stories inspired by my life. They were written with the aim of correlating all parts of life that different individuals encounter. The book forms an integral part of building knowledge in people who aspire to acquire it, it is complementary to the answers that mankind seek concerning personal peace and outward conflict.

This collection of poetry features 40 of the 75 poems from my latest book Pomegranate Flesh. You are most welcome to vote and comment and follow me. The poems in this collection show Strider's gift of being able to weave words into creative and surprising configurations. He manipulates words to do his will, taming them with his love for the sounds, rhythms and cadence of language. The result is poetry that is fresh, wild, sensual, and new. His poetry lulls the reader into hypnotic and sensual trances with imaginative renderings of lush landscapes of the mind, body,and nature. Pomegranate Flesh is a wonderful compilation of poems, resonating with a poet's passion for life, love, and language. The Pomegranate is the national fruit and symbol of Armenia. It represents fertility, abundance and marriage. One ancient custom widely accepted in ancient Armenia was performed at weddings. A bride was given a pomegranate fruit, which she threw against a wall, breaking it into pieces. Scattered pomegranate seeds ensured the bride future children. http://www.lulu.com/shop/strider-marcus-jones/pomegranate-flesh/paperback/product-20444424.html http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pomegranate-Flesh-Strider-Marcus-Jones/dp/1291117318/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1390655580&sr=1-1 Content Warning The compilation you are about to read is intended for mature readers due to some sexual content and language.

Alex has done the unspeakable: she's fallen in love with three guys... At the same time. In her small town this is quite the scandal. It doesn't help that these guys are her only friends considering she's a tomboy or that her dad abuses her and she can't do anything about it considering he's the towns most powerful man. Fights, kisses, babies, happy pills, feathers, police, love, hate, and more.
