About the Book

Younger and Wiser is a remarkable literary masterwork that goes beyond poetry to span multiple genres by combining provocative storytelling, philosophy, and spirituality with insightful self-help wisdom interspersed with the dynamic backstory feature of modern cinema. book with universal appeal, this unique collection beckons you with a smile, offering to enrich and empower your life. Author Gene Jones has created an intriguing new literary genre-Backstory Poetry, and has established himself as the father of this fascinating new form of literary expression guaranteed to pull you in and ignite your passions. Poems in Younger & Wiser stand powerfully on their own, and then are enriched by personalized backstories that delve into the complexities, joys, and challenges of life by blending the immediacy and power of verse with the conversational tone of contemplative prose. This groundbreaking format portrays the author's fascinating personal odyssey through a series of inspirational tales imbedded with gems of wisdom and inspiring advice on how to live a more fulfilling life. Backstories in all media allow artists and audiences to share deeper, more intimate experiences by revealing inner workings of the creative process. Most poetry books only reveal fragments of this process, often leaving readers with puzzling unanswered questions such as: --What events inspired each poem? -What emotions ran through the poet's mind as pen turned thought into art? -What was the poet's intended meaning? Younger & Wiser answers all these questions in a manner intended to revolutionize the poetry genre and give it mainstream appeal. In masterfully demonstrating the art of storytelling, Gene Jones creates an intimate conversation with every reader's mind. This profound conversation makes Younger & Wiser a must-read literary experience for readers of all ages and demographics and establishes Gene Jones as the father of backstory poetry.

Review :
Jones' debut book of poetry offers 65 free-verse poems that are intimate, philosophical, and replete with existential wisdom. This compilation, featuring poems collected over a period of more than 30 years, intriguingly includes enlightening back stories to complement the verses. These stories explain the circumstances that inspired particular poems, the writer's state of mind at the time of creation, or other details. They give readers a deeper understanding of the verses and offer them, as the author eloquently states, "an additional avenue to illuminate context without diverting a poem's structure." Interestingly, one of the few poems without a back story, "Self Portrait," serves as the thematic centerpiece of this collection. It chronicles moments in the author's life when he was essentially reborn after painful experiences--including the tragic death of his grandmother, the premature passing of his father, and a serious car accident--and illustrates the idea that life should be about embracing such wisdom and finding fulfillment through self-awareness: "I no longer worry about my destination, as I am here, and that is where I wish to stay." Another powerhouse poem that furthers this theme is "Educated Sweat," which explores the importance of priorities and perception: "I don't put on my best clothes anymore, / having learned / the highest mountain peak / is merely the bottom of the sky, / and / success can be the ultimate disappointment." The impermanence of human existence is summed up in the poems "Worm's Eye View" and "Composted," in which the poet brilliantly compares the life cycle of humans to worms'. Overall, although the verses' back stories may initially seem a bit self-absorbed, their ultimate effect is one of increased clarity and enlightenment. A collection that examines life, love, and mortality with wit and wisdom.
