Overview

Exploetry is a vivid collision of original poetry and visual art by Guyon Prince, a combat veteran, educator, and lifelong creator. Born of grief, wonder, rebellion, and quiet grace, these works have been sharpened over 15 years - each piece paired with a haunting image drawn from the artist's own hand. With themes of mortality, spiritual hunger, and radical presence, Exploetry invites readers to slow down and feel deeply. Includes QR codes for a free audio experience performed by the author.

Author Information

Guyon Prince, raised on the cotton farms of the West Texas Plains with Choctaw blood flowing through his veins, spent his formative years hunting arrowheads and carving makeshift arrows out of roofing shingles with his stilt-walking grandfather, his namesake. Eventually the Texas winds carried him to the desert storms of Iraq as Sergeant Prince, leading troops in combat during Operation Iraqi Freedom and subsequent campaigns. Upon honorable discharge and restless with patriotism and disillusionment, Guyon enrolled in West Texas A&M University under the G.I. Bill, studying under Dr. Bonney MacDonald and Dr. Monica Hart, scholars of American and British literature, respectively. Renewed by Whitman's verse and Emerson's prose, Guyon obtained his teaching certifications in English and Fine Art. He currently commutes 30 miles a day to teach senior English to at-risk students. He lives with his partner, Sarah, their two children, and various domesticated mammals in Canyon, Texas.
