From the heart and soul of Martin Pounds, through the pen onto the pad, “The Writer’s Poet”, produces a beautiful poetic vibe that cannot and will never be forgotten.
"My passion to write is too strong to ignore". I always imagined being a poetic artist because music makes me feel complete. Without becoming a gimmick, I want the world to see how music and poetry brings good people together. “Martin Pounds”
Martin released his first book entitled, “A Life’s Journey: A Lifetime of Poetry” followed by his debut album “Reality Check”, which was released in 2011. That album opened up the doors for the career of, “The Writer’s Poet” as he began to gain recognition in the literary world of influential people. In May of 2011, he caught the attention of Tiffany Lewis as she featured his work in, “Thematic Literary Magazine”. He was also featured in a collective book of accomplished writers entitled “When Poets Unite” published by Katina Gurl of Steamy Trail Publishing.
