Poetry Book Review
Hello fellow bloggers,
I’d like to take a small departure from my regular poetry writing and review my friend Kevin Marquez’s book “Towards the Question Mark” available on Amazon.com
Towards the Question Mark provides a poetic insight as to what it is like growing up in New York City. The poetic narrator takes the reader on a journey through family strife, of loves born and lost. As a reader, you find yourself rooting this poetic narrator on. Kevin uses a variety of poetic forms to convey different aspects of a native New Yorker’s life.
There are some academics that question the legitimacy of Spanglish in literary works, Kevin’s use of Spanglish ,however, in selected poems represent the voice of this generation of Latino writers. I invite you all to join this writer’s journey. It provides a window to one man’s trial and tribulations with the Big Apple as the setting.

Happy reading and writing everyone!

lighter
than before.
Stretching
loving every part
of you
down to your toes
breathing

each pose.
Honoring
your higher self
its crown
and truth.
Light within you
shines
feel your nature
it’s divine.

Spirit is calling
sending reminders
to be like the wind
free
yet a force.
Through deja vu
memories
start to redefine
destiny
connecting to
life’s river
of universal
flow
path slowly unfolding
leading me to growth
to become one
with the source
Mind learning to
unlearn
back to an uncarved block
intuitively
walking the way.
