THE NEW STUFF (A Skewed View) Selected Poems 2014-2016: The Long Strange Journey Volume 5

By Jack Tomkovick

Welcome to Volume 5 of my poetry. This is a departure from the first 4 volumes, in that I am only including poems from 2014 through April of 2016. So everything you read is fresh and new. "Word Tapestries", "My Words", and "Poetry is Not #3" discuss my views on poetry itself. "Private Conversation With Myself" is as personal a look at who I am as I have ever attempted. "Sorrow" and "I Found Happiness" are the Yin and Yang of life. Of course there is the usual social commentary like "Martians, Isis, and God" and love poems like "Melting Point of Love". Enjoy the read, and contact me at jack.tomkovick@gmail.com, if you want a more intimate discussion. peace and joy, Jack. P.S. There are religious poems too, like "Only Small Things", about Mother Teresa's life. Finally, this volume ends with "Because Life Is So Hard", a poem about afterlife, heaven, and hope.
