Building Stonehenge (Books)

Building Stonehenge, by Marc Maurus, is the result of fifteen years of discovery, growth, and wonderful change. Emerging from a self-inflicted Closed Head Injury, he immersed himself in poetry and how-to poetry books, emerging as one of Southeast Michigan’s premier poets. At one time, he was the only white member of the Detroit Black Writers Guild, in recognition of his writings from a white perspective against racism. He also co-hosted and co-produced the poetry television show The Poet and The Power with Rod Reinhart. M. L. Liebler is responsible for much encouragement, including booking him into readings at The Scarab Club and The Detroit Opera House. Marc Maurus also hosted his own poetry venue, Poetry in Motion, which ran for several years. The loss of vision in his right eye took that away, but a second opinion assured him he will keep his left, thus this book. Read it, if you dare. And. as he often puts it, aptly dating himself, be there or be square.
