Conduit: [A Collection of Poems and Short Stories by Jon Goode]

by Jon Goode

When on stage Jon Goode has a remarkable way of entertaining his audiences while simultaneously encouraging them to reflect profoundly on the critical issues of the day. This gift has been perfected and transferred to the written page in Conduit. Through poetry and prose Jon grants a glimpse of the world through his eyes artfully creating a relationship with his reader. The joys and pains, laughter and rage experienced in its pages become personal for each reader forcing an engagement with societies ills as if defending and protecting a loved one. Conduit is a book to be read, shared, and re-read over and over again. -Tamara A. Stewart, MDivHebrew Bible Scholar / Spiritual Advisor-Jon Goode has the rare ability to relay experiences and emotions in such a way that you're not quite sure if he's talking about his life or your own. Conduit is funny, it's smart, it's touching. After reading it you can't help but feel a little more connected to humanity.Lia Bascomb, Professor, Department of African American Studies, GSU
