Synopsis

This book explores a writer trying to find his voice through explorations of nostalgia and questioning, as well as some interesting observations about our modern world.

In a little over 100 poems, Greg Luti takes you on a ride through his creative poetic journey with this collection of free-verse poetry.

The poems in this collection vary from about not even wanting to be himself, to falling in and out of love, to not being afraid of death.

Some are whimsical, some are funny, and some are just plain strange. Some leave you thinking about the world in a new way. This poetry collection has just enough variety to keep you interested throughout.

Here is a list of some of the poems

1. "Looking Out at Sea for Truman or Columbus" - The poet talks of a time at the beach and ponders questions of Truman and Christopher.
2. "Going Back" - The poet thinks of a time in his youth that he wishes to go back to but realizes that he cannot.
3. "The Year 1318" - The poet talks of how nothing he knows happened in the year 1318, making him question the very year he is in.
4. "The Collins Conundrum" - The poet discusses his interest in popular poet Billy Collins and how that poet got poetry correct.
5. "Hating the Boss" - Two people discuss their hatred for their boss.
6. "I'll Let You Decide What She Was Trying to Buy" - A woman buys an item from a store with the innuendo that she is not interested in the item at all.
7. "The Only Murder I Ever Committed" - The poet talks of how he had to get rid of his innocence in order to become an adult.
