12 Rounds (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781975777555)

The second release of poetry from Flint, Michigan poet, M. Mackintosh, ventures beyond the themes of mere love and desire, and into the never-ending rabbit hole of the conscious mind; the maddening experience of day to day life and what it means to be human.

This publication of 44 pieces in 12 sets, infuses mythology, fables and fairy tales long since forgotten, arcane characters, and intellect altering riddles throughout. '12 Rounds' is much more than a bound book of devotional rhythm and rhymes - clever verses - line break after line, but rather a gripping event that rattles the soul.

A transcendental mind trap that urges the reader to not just mindlessly surrender themselves over to it's primal vibrational hum, instead playfully enticing them to knowingly leap into it's menacing jaws with willing vigor and a thoughtful abandon.

Akin to sentient beings, each individual piece existing within each set, rather working alone or as a collective, warmly embraces the reader, absolute. Compact creatures of contrast that demand nothing while commanding you to relinquish it all. All but one aspect of many planes that make up this deeply moving volume, where at times, manages to invoke echoes of the divine so clearly, that it overpowers and dominates the senses.

Concealed universal truths unveiled to those seeking and willing to earn them shall be most graciously granted. Others will pleasantly discover that a leisurely skim can still manage to stir up and unearth the rare treasures that reside, riding along, atop, and in-between the spaces of this highly romantic, incredibly sweet, and charming collection.

No metaphysical New Age woo-woo will be found to dwell within the folds of this book. Only those curious things existing amongst us that simply just are.

Even as unreal - some may appear - when light reveals.
