The Maturation of Michael Merriweather: From the Poet, to the Pen, to the Paper

You are about to tap into the mind of one of the most brilliant poets that I have ever known. Mike is a phenomenal writer that has mastered the ability to enter into the hearts, souls and minds of his readers. You will literally feel as though he ripped his verses from the pages of your diary.

Poems such as "I Hate Love" and "What I Want Is" allow female readers the opportunity to gain insight into the male persona. Male readers have the chance to experience female emotions as observed from a male perspective through "I Hate Love Part 2: Love's Reply". Mike's poetry takes you on a journey that keeps you hanging on until the end, and you are left anticipating more.

Mike is an extraordinary writer, and his poetry offers something to everyone. For the brotha that is ready to commit and give all of his love and loyalty to his queen, there is "Untitled 6/8/09". For the brotha that is not ready to take that step, check out "I Miss Her" and "...in Another Life". For the beautiful sista that momentarily forgets just how beautiful she is, there is "Authinthick". This poem is an anthem for black beauty. There are also poems that offer condolences and encouragement to those that have lost a loved one. Just when you think your pain cannot be put into words, read "RIP Q".

So whether you are looking for a new love, trying to cope with the death of a loved one, looking for a laugh, searching for understanding, wanting some clarity on the opposite sex, or if you need a little encouragement- The Maturation of Michael Merriweather, Jr. is the book for you.
So, light your incense. Put on a slow groove, and take a ride with Mike. He will give you what you need…maybe more
