Described by the author as "a rich tapestry of relatable poetry," Poetry Tuned to My Ear is a debut poetry collection by a poet with an uncanny sense of the world.
As soon as a reader picks up the book, F.M. Jacks' poems will evoke reflection about the positive and negative aspects and complexities of human emotions and relationships. Conversations abound after reading a stanza or two; discussing the true meaning of life, love, happiness, and more.
The style of poetry F.M. Jacks writes is similar to spoken word. Naturally gravitating to this style because it often involves storytelling with elements of rhyme, repetition, slang, word play, and intense imagery, F.M. Jacks concocts a one-in-a-million narrative with a unique voice and resonating lines that will inscribe themselves in readers' brains, hearts, and souls.
Poetry Tuned to My Ear includes a myriad of topics around the themes of love, betrayal, violence, empowerment, and more. It's F.M. Jacks' hope that after enjoying the poems, readers recognize themselves in the experience and feel more connected to the world and humans around them.
Primarily written to reflect life experiences, relationships, and emotions of women of color, Poetry Tuned to My Ear makes a wonderful gift or thoughtful addition to the home. Women in general and poetry lovers will also enjoy the collection.
