Strider Marcus Jones
[Poem]
Poem
The Dance
Strider Marcus Jones is a poet, law graduate and ex-civil servant from Salford, England with proud Celtic roots in Ireland and Wales. A member of The Poetry Society, his five published books of poetry reveal a maverick, moving between cities, playing his saxophone in smoky rooms.
Childhood Fires
"...dad cooking neck end stew
thick with potato dumplings and herbs..."
Convict Chains
"...sucked back five thousand years..."
Children of the Revolution
"...you don't have the right to repeal my name..."
Pyramid Prison
"...warp the altar of natural laws..."
Does Her Far Beauty Know
"...unlike bare rooms we rent
to leave behind..."
The Portal in the Woods
"...Reconnecting rhythms
In living and dead..."
Dark Drawn Man
"...tricks
of prussian blue
and cadmium red..."
Clouds of Chaotic Crowds
"...with voices that pretend
To be a different friend..."
Cubist Ghettos
"...Flashing flamingo legs
To pink paradise harlem heads..."
