My Writer’s Mind
My head swims with flashy fish coined ideas, words and plots. They never stop moving although sometimes I want them to stop.
The tenacious swimmers turn and bite at the story line but it’s hard to hook them together and create a work truly fine.
In this strong and vulnerable collection of poetry, the poet spins out a thoughtful imagery of innocence and culpability, for (and of) "the users and the abused". Jules Jacob inhabits a dichotomous world, and with delicate magnetism, draws us into it, in each poem. ”
—The Glass Sponge Endorsement— Dr. Harrison Solow, Pushcart Prize winning writer, author and university professor
