About the CD
The Hounds of
Love digital audio compact disc (CD) contains the spoken-word
recordings of the poems from the book. The author, Mark Allen Gray,
introduces each chapter and proceeds to take the listener through each
poem in the tone, rhythm, and mood it was conceived. The CD contains
comments and additional material not included in the book. The digital
audio material was recorded in PCM, 48 kHz, 16-bit mono format with
total time of 44 minutes and 48 seconds.
This collection of
poems tells a familiar story in an unrestrained free verse form. This is
a story of love discovered, love lived, love lost, and love resolved. In
this story, 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.
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.
About the Author
 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.
