Books by Marvin Shackelford

In his debut poetry collection, Marvin Shackelford brings you through the slow building that is life. From foundations hard laid during youth in Tennessee through expansive highway promises of the middle portions of America, the everyday is mingled with the profound. This is the steady and endless building of a lifetime from the underlying violence of youth to the vast spaces and promises and disappointments that make up the physical body of America. Shackelford''s poems will bring you through the spiritual, the earthly, and the profoundly personal in the recognition that as with all things in this world, we are simply in a process of Endless Building.
