The Story!

At once it struck me what quality went to form a Man of Achievement, especially in Literature, and which Shakespeare possessed so enormously - I mean Negative Capability, that is, when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason.  – John Keats

The Extras!

Sounding by Barry Marks

Birmingham attorney Barry Marks uses poetry to work through the grief that followed the tragic death of his oldest daughter, Leah Ellen Marks. The verse is intelligent and poignant, and each line propels the reader through the natural stages of grief, rage, and healing. Anyone who has dealt with loss can relate to Marks' discourse, which tells the story of how a man and his family survived a devastating life event. Though heavy at times, Sounding is an insightful and inspiring journey through love, loss, and recovery.
