Maktub: It Is Written is the follow-up to "Lust, Life, Love," and is another collection of poetry by author, Marquis D. Bynum. Holding to his previously consistent themes of love, relationships, and the often unmentionable aspects of daily life and struggle, Maktub: It Is Written captures a deep expression of raw and very real emotions through a very genuine interpersonal and interconnected voice. Central to its motif is the idea that Maktub is an anthology for life; individual stories of collective struggle and success and ultimately the obtainment of one's dreams.
