Chocolate Cake

By Jeff McClure

In Chocolate Cake, the bleak world of artificial intelligence, uncertain futures, and looming economic recession fills every page with hard-earned hope and a message about the importance of rest. This poetry collection debuts the many emotions and experiences of the everyday person who struggles to stay financially afloat - moments of hardship, community, struggle, and rest.

The poems in this collection highlight the hardship of working families, disappearing neighborhoods, and the small parts of everyday life that help alleviate the daily accumulation of both stress and worry. Whether it's sitting on a pier fishing, reading a book with a cat loafed in your lap, or revisiting forgotten places, each poem reflects an ever-changing world trying to hold itself together.

This poetry collection is for the everyday reader who has experienced hardship, the aspiring college graduate struggling to find employment and those who have watched the world drastically change throughout their lifetime.

Chocolate Cake is not just a mural of struggle - it's a celebration of community, rest, and resilience.
