The idea for Mortal Thoughts — not in name but in body — began taking shape for me in November 2015. I—like so many others—wade in the erratic waters of intellect and mortality and all of the precious cognitive and ethereal lakes, rivers and streams that congregate between. I have been blessed to hone those temporal thoughts into poetry over the years, an extraordinary written art form that for whatever reason arises in me during my most mystifying times. Why does poetry so readily lend itself to the essence of transcendental deliberations, stoic cogitations and silly musings? The riposte is as simple as dreaming and as complex as mud. It does. For me, the answer begins and ends there, unveiling the journey as in the title, “Mortal Thoughts.”

Author Bio:
Over the years, Michael’s passions for reading and creative writing inspired him to devour everything from contemporary to classical literature. As a high school student, he wrote poetry as a means of private expression to work through the rollercoaster ride of an African-American teenager coming of age in a turbulent world. From that maelstrom of discovery, a joy blossomed into a zeal for creative writing that would not be contained.
