My New Book Of Poetry, Just Released

New Book Of Poetry

I’m proud to be included in the pages of Democracy Chronicles. They are a safe harbor of enlightened observations and thoughts about our global politics. I am indebted to them for including me in their ensemble of cultural commentators. Here is a sample from my new poetry collection titled, “Bloodstream Is An Illusion Of Rubies Counting Fireplaces.”

Maybe the Disarranged Newspaper

Maybe the disarranged newspaper
was waiting
for a little boy
to shape
it into a pirate hat.

Perhaps the torn pillowcase
had a secret wish fulfilled
when the little girl
turned it into
her princess cape.

A reprieve of sorts has occurred.

Things touched and used
by adult hands
had been sentenced
to the oblivion
of a garbage can.

Rescued by the inexhaustible
imagination of children,

they are reborn as magical
garments of fantasy.

Here is a video of me reading another sample from my newly published collection:

My new poetry collection is currently selling at Amazon US, Amazon UK, and Barnes & Noble. Thank you.
