The Hounds of Love is a collection of poems that spans a period of 27 years of writing and 43 years of life. After a near-fatal car accident, the author was compelled to assemble and share these poems in a story. Each poem looks at love in a different emotional light. There is no deep hidden meaning in this story nor are there any solutions to love's troubles, only an echo of the profound affect of love on humanity. The poems simply and collectively tell a familiar story in an unrestrained free verse form through the personal experience and voice of the author. This is the story of love discovered, love lived, love lost, and love rediscovered. Probably the reader has experienced some or all of these. If this is the case, then the reader will know that love has no form, no rules, and no boundaries. It is free and it is loose and it is dogged by all of us, relentlessly. Like a pack of hounds on a hunt, it is a game, with one prize, and one loser. The author, Mark Allen Gray, holds a Master of Science degree in computer science from Johns Hopkins University. Since childhood, Mark has been an avid student of literature and enjoys writing, in particular, capturing and condensing life events and emotions into poems. Mark's style draws on the creative, logical, and technical elements of computer science in his professional life and blends them with the raw emotional events and experiences of his personal life within a social and political framework that nurtures freedom. Mark's major literary and poetic influences include Ernest Hemingway, john steinbeck, Jack Kerouac, jim morrison, and Charles Baudelaire. Love is a big subject to explore. Writers and artists of all types have been driven by its mystery, thrill, and madness for many millennia. It is the author's hope that the reader will find some entertainment or healing value in this small story.
