Modern Thoughts

By Jerry Ulysse

Often times when it comes to poetry, people say, "I would read it if I understood." Now comes a collection that is deep and relatable, creative and yet down to earth. Modern Thoughts explores desire, longing, connection, and vulnerability, vividly depicting personal encounters and probing the emotions at play in each varied situation. Author Jerry Ulysse shares honest depictions of personal triumphs and fears, allowing the audience to witness a wide range of topics from the horror of police brutality to the joy of falling in love. Each poem title sparks curiosity, followed by vivid narratives that explore the titles' meanings. Read about tough decisions and better yourself. Ulysse's poems are the voice for the ghost that wants to be heard and for people who cry in silence. He speaks of ambitious winners who celebrate with joy but about those in dark places too. He sprinkles humor to mend broken hearts indirectly but also shares empathy in words that will empower growth directly.
