Blurb:
Mark Cox pulls no punches in these poems about loving, drinking, traveling, and screwing up his relationships and parts of his life. “Looking back for a low point marking the worst of my insobriety, it might be that signal moment I put out my cigarette in the holy water font of St. Paul’s Catholic church, right in front of the priest. . .” Sometimes sobering, often times funny, but always honest, the poems in Knowing aim for the heart and soul of us all.
Review
Knowing by Mark Cox is a poignant and unapologetically honest exploration of life, love, and the complexities of life. In this collection of poems, author Cox fearlessly tackles themes of love, regret, addiction, and the inevitable pitfalls of existence with candidness and sharp wit.
The collection’s strength lies not only in the author’s narrative skill but also in his keen observational eye. Through vivid imagery and storytelling, he brings to life moments that are at once universal and intensely personal, inviting readers to reflect on their own experiences with newfound empathy and understanding.
For anyone seeking poetry that is as thought-provoking as it is heartfelt, Knowing is a must-read. Author Cox’s ability to navigate the highs and lows of life with grace and authenticity makes this collection a standout in contemporary poetry, showcasing the enduring power of words to both challenge and comfort the soul.
