Willingly

About Marc Frazier’s poetry:”Frazier illumines the darkest corners of memory, bearing apt witness to remembered experience with uncommon clarity and sureness, each poem a gem cut and polished to a fierce brightness.” -Angela Narciso Torres, author of Blood Orange, grand prize winner for poetry, Willow Books ” With quiet, lucid observation, deceptive even with their ease and straightforwardness, Frazier’s poems reconsider personal history and the shaping force of recollection. The poems too, after the reader closes the book, will become a thing of memory and like any important memory—potent, deeply embedded, and informing the reader’s now.” – Suzanne Parker, author of Viral, Lambda Literary Award Finalist ” Frazier’s poems are often rich with striking and dynamic questions and the result is often refreshingly human, urgent, and disarming.” – Cyrus Cassells, author of The Gospel of Wild Indigo”There is a yearning for something more, perhaps only found in the art of poetry. – Robert Klein Engler, president NewTown Writers and author

Reviews

This lovely book of poems covers a variety of topics and uses a number of different poetic forms, but what pulls them all together is the great depth of emotion that comes across in them all. A number of lines from several poems stand out so clearly and vividly that the reader will be drawn back to them time and time again. If you are new to Marc Frazier's poetry, here is a great book to introduce you to it.
I would “willingly” read any poetry written by Frazier. Every line is packed with so much meaning and emotion, one cannot help but connect to the poet’s psyche.
Another beautiful book of unique poems, very singular yet takes the reader to a very collective place where we share the emotions evoked by the work
While Frazier's command of language is masterful, it is his command of the heart that makes his work so compelling. His poetry is the chronicle of a courageous, insightful journey from the living of it through the reflection on it.
