The Spoken Truth Life Written in Poetry

Marcus Harvey is what we would call a modern-day underdog. Voted least likely to succeed throughout his formative years, Marcus has proved Nay Sayers wrong with many notable accomplishments. Marcus served 25 years in the US Army, received the Bronze Star Medal, earned a Master's degree in Business Administration, and currently serves as a college dean. As a former foster care child given the title troubled teen and told death or prison was certain by age twenty-one, it is safe to say his life's journey has proved these prophecies false. His first book, "Life Written in Poetry," reflects his life perspective, spirituality, and experience given to the world boldly in love through the art of spoken word poetry.

In the great tradition and honor of spreading love through the contribution of black thought arrives Marcus Harvey into our modern day. Armed with bold intelligence as in the likes of James Baldwin with the poetic poise of the great Maya Angelou, Marcus continues the prophetic tradition of the Spoken Word. This book is more than poetry. This book is about emotion, cultural perspective, healing, and a lifetime of experience freely given to the world out of love.
