Bricks of Babylon

By Mick Tomlinson

In his fourth book, Mick Tomlinson gets mad again. Much of the 'past pain' poetry found in his earlier books has fallen away and is replaced by a distress the author feels while watching society rip itself apart via politics and cultural division. The American empire is collapsing.. will poetry survive? As a voice on the front lines of the fracture, Mick writes about the experience as he sees it, albeit from a jaded view of a man who deeply fears the direction things could go based upon his study of history and past human events.

No longer roaming America in his 'vanpartment', Mick quit the nomadic lifestyle and now lives alone in a house with two cats, situated in a small town in rural Pennsylvania. His home sits on a hill next to a forest where he spends his days writing and watching wildlife sniff the property line for tossed food scraps. He knows he shouldn't feed them, but he can't help it. Raccoons are very cute when they eat. And regardless of the outcome of the American collapse, Mick plans on staying right where he is and will continue writing poetry with the fierce honesty he's known for.. as long as he doesn't get sent to the gulag.
