A Flood in the Sky, the second release by poet MKYoung, is a groundbreaking look at contemporary society’s growth and regress spurring from events of the past. It is a mind blowing collection of haikus and poetry that will send the reader through the fields of emotion and return them with a better sense of purpose. A Flood in the Sky is a snapshot of our marriage with history, “in good times and in bad”, MKYoung tells this story.

MK Young's writing speaks for the rest of us who are afraid to delve into the inner-turmoils that are boiling in the hearts of America, Flood in the Sky covered me in a dark shroud with my head peaking out the pleats starving for the light.

“MKYoung is a fresh kick in the butt to modern poetry. His work is intelligent, unique, and thought provoking. Often times it borders on political commentary without really being political. He doesn't take sides. He tells it like it is, as he sees it- the contemporary world we live in with all the contradictions and madness that goes along with it. MK has a way of viewing the world with a skeptical eye and a sly wink often in the same poem. His work is visionary and holds back no punches. Be prepared to be awed by his articulate and brilliant sweep of the language. MKYoung is part of the new poetry revolution spawned by the internet where poetry has found a way to live on despite all the naysayers who say it is dead and buried. Be prepared for a great ride”

"There are a handful of writers out there that seem to change the landscape of poetry as we know it. MKYoung's brilliant mix of intellectual darkness and undeniable hope are completely and utterly spellbinding".

"When I need something prolific and really exciting, I don't say I'll mess with MK Young, I'll say I really fucking like this guy, let's make a whole book together or remix of your own poems, he's great, point blank"
