Gates

by Jay Green

Overview

In his first ever book of poetry, Jay Green's Gates seeks to take the reader on a journey told in pictures.

From the writer's personal accounts of growing up in Louisiana, to capturing that self-defining moment of sharing a piece of yourself on an open mic stage, Gates uses vivid imagery to illustrate a journey of growth and possibility experienced by a young writer coming into his own.

Editorial Reviews

GATES is Jay Green's vibrant and eclectic debut poetry collection, but there's no trace of rookie status here. This is an accomplished body of work that marches along with passion and rhythm, startles and delights with its rich collection of distinctive and powerful pieces, and marks Green out as a talent and a voice well worth following.

IndieReader

"Green's collection, Gates, is refreshing, original and a book for the 21st century. Behind Green's words are the stories, thoughts and feelings of a human being who loves, wins and loses too. Green says it as he sees it, weaves it as he imagines it and does not shy away from the straightforward; he is confident in his work and thus reminiscent of Hemingway and Ginsberg."
