Romantically Incorrect

Born, raised, and currently living in Detroit, Michigan, Morgan Cleage Coby is a combination of many different things around him: the gritty realities of the city where he dwells, and the wondrous idealism from the fictional worlds of stories, cartoons, and video games. He graduated from Lewis Cass Technical High School and went to attend college in Virginia, later transferring to Grand Valley State University, realizing that being close to home had its benefits. His work and his personality draw inspiration from numerous things: his experiences, various novels and poems, Nintendo games, orators, Western and Eastern animation, Hip-Hop, dark, down-tempo R&B, Spoken Word, as well as some Rock music. Romantically Incorrect is his first major project. It is a book of poetry expressing much of his unconventional ideologies and atypical opinions regarding love, romance, and the opposite sex. The poems come from the perspective of someone who battles his own apprehension, angst, and frustrations while encountering and falling for women who may be enraptured with other men, or who have unclear?possibly even nefarious?motives. In between the lines of the poems, the speaker makes efforts to find his identity and develop an understanding of the women and world around him.
