Excerpts from My Soul...Read Without Prejudice

Excerpts From My Soul...Read Without Prejudice stretches the boundaries of literature by taking a look at the world through the use of compelling prose poetry, vignettes, and comical introspections about the world's complexities. The world as we know it has changed, and Jones' intent is to massage the mind, giving the world a surreal, yet realistic slice of what he views as necessary conversation which is isolated by the mainstream media. The goal is to break bread on less excitable subject matter which many refuse to discuss and print because of a fear of censorship. In his spectacular second book of poetry, Nathan Jones blends the prickly, happy, poignant, and thrilling in such a moving way, but it's at the point of the idiom - the depth of honesty - Jones' perspective constantly broadens itself in striking ways. Though these poems are rangy, Jones nonetheless keeps his reader ensconced within the profundity of his soul - without hesitation, reservation, or excuse for his process of definition.
