A Beautiful Rage 41

<p>This collection of poetry entitled <strong>A Beautiful Rage: 41</strong> by Dr. Michael Marion Jr. traces the tumultuous and eventually redemptive journey of a significant relationship. The poems are divided thematically into sections first exploring the <strong>Beautiful</strong> moments of passionate connection and intimate sensory details followed by a dramatic shift to <strong>Rage</strong> which captures the sharp pain blame and eventual distance of conflict. Ultimately the final poems move toward a <strong>rediscovery of love</strong> on a continent where the couple is forced to confront their issues culminating in a mutual truth-telling on the beach that allows them to move past their strain and shame. The work serves as an honest vulnerable exploration of a bond that was frayed by unspoken words but was eventually tempered and reborn through forgiveness and shared experience. </p>
