Review by Heather Froeschl
Without chaos there is no peace, without struggle there is no celebration. These are the concepts of a collection of poetry, titled, "Rocking in a Free World," by Mark Allen Gray.
Broken into four chapters, Independence, Journey, Struggle, and Celebration, the author works to demonstrate his understanding of the feelings behind the words. In Independence he looks at the freedoms we have and the restrictions that keep us circled in. In Journey, Mark examines our purpose to Be, and experience life. In Struggle, he bears witness to inner turmoil and outer conflict. Celebration is all about that pivotal moment of change, that moment to rejoice; it regards the rupture of spring and laughter, and the burst of song.
Gray's style is point blank poetry. His words are honest and clear; his meaning is obvious. His artful intent is complete with self-made symbols for each chapter. It was a delight to read this book and reflect on his purpose.
