A powerful compilation of poems and prose that will challenge and question the reader, society, and reality itself. 

Marcus T. Tolbert’s poetry collection, Soul of the Spoken Word, is a book unlike any other. Spoken deep from the author’s heart, it is a compilation of poems and prose brimming with struggle and pain, love and loss, success and failure. Each verse delves into the unknown, and confronts the tenets we call Truth. 

Not just your typical light-hearted rhyme, Tolbert’s poems stem from the author’s deep questioning of himself and the world around him. By reading such personal prose, each installation will challenge the reader to do the same.  

Overflowing with vivid and powerful language, Soul of the Spoken Word will speak to everyone, and inspire all who read it.
