Bite Me

About the Book

Now that this book of poems has been completed, from more than a glance, it can easily be considered a testament. One of persistence and endurance—a true literary example of what it means to be stubborn. Of course, one might presume that “love,” whatever you may define it as, could have very well had something to do with these words. But that’s not quite so.

            As the author thought he had laid shining eyes on his wife, his prize, his everything—he simply began falling. Quicker than what he was once used to. Harder than what most would consider detrimental. Our poet soon found himself dancing with an effect that would later be estimated irresistible. He consequently led himself to not only think, but believe with all of his heart that he could seduce this particular young lady enough to receive unconditional reciprocation, at the very least.

No...

            His desired results could not have been any further from the shape and circumstance of the current relationship in fact—illusive toxicity is the name. But despite the excessive cocktails of stagnancy and mania, the medley of illustrations was written nonetheless. After two and a half years of experiences on a two seat merry-go, here and now, Bite Me stands as an account that highlights the trials, tribulations and painful complications that by no means fail to accompany the choice of denying that dreamed unison is more likely than not, never meant to be. All of this in the midst of dramatic and sometimes comical strokes of passion is unquestionably what to be expected. Help yourself to a collection seemingly provided by a child needing nothing more than to have an adult strike his hand; just say, “No. Stop.” But apparently the adult here remains absent nevertheless.

About the Author

After his first-time publication of two juvenile poems at the age of eleven, Bryce began writing his first novel, The 12^th Round, while attending a Pennsylvania high school as a class-clowning sophomore. Since then, Jones has worked diligently in his attempt to master the contradictable artistry of words, and while doing so, the 21 year old-soul has delivered a publication each year after successfully self-publishing that first novel. And although the first work has enjoyed awfully modest recognition, the initial completion undeniably became the highlight of his personal achievements during his freshman year at Clark Atlanta University.

            Jones followed up nearly a year later by self-publishing his first book of poems, In & Out the Boxx, a rather jagged and barbed yet versatile collection which featured literary contributions from both friends and family—inspirations that without a doubt pushed Bryce to further his writing skills and development. As a result, bothered by the low level of public acknowledgment of his previous work, the author went on to self-publish his second novel, the lucidly multifaceted Squares, about a year and a half later. In a nut shell of all that ensued, then came love, no marriage, and Bite Me.      

             Moreover, despite flaunting stout interests in music production and astrology, Bryce, birthed out of Jamaica, Queens, New York, currently resumes his schooling as a Speech Communications major and Film minor of Atlanta’s own, Georgia State University. Having partaken in the production of short films and documentaries as an actor, director, producer, and editor, Mr. Jones now strives to complete his first screenplay entitled Sun School Jewels. He feels that the accomplishment would merely play a part in a journey toward the universal betterment of the self, family, and ultimately the community on a large scale—refusing to look back.
