come see about me, marvin is accessible, honest poetry about and
for real people. In the collection, brian g. gilmore seeks to
invite the reader into a fantastical dialogue between himself and
Marvin Gaye-two black men who were born in the nation's capital,
but who moved to the Midwest for professional ambitions. In trying
to acclimate himself to a new job in a new place-a place that
seemed so different from the home he had always known-gilmore often
looked to Marvin Gaye as an example for how to be. These poems were
derived as a means of coping in a strange land. The book is divided
into four sections, beginning with section one, ""love that will
shelter you,"" and features poems about dealing with life in
Michigan as it is in reality. Sections two and three, ""nowhere to
hide"" and ""no ordinary pain,"" include poems about the brutality
of the Midwest and some of the historical realities as gilmore came
to understand them. The final section, ""let your love come shining
through,"" attempts to invoke hope in poetry. come see about me,
marvin is gilmore's answer to life's perpexing issues, with Marvin
Gaye as the perfect vehicle to explore these ideals. Readers of
poetry and lovers of Motown will embrace this love letter to a
local legend.
