Synopsis
Addiction, madness, and survival — all laid bare in verse.
It’s Just a Hop, Skip, and a Jump to the Madhouse is Thomas W. Case’s fearless dive into the human psyche, addiction, and the chaos of memory. These poems are gritty, confessional, and unapologetically honest — the kind of writing that pulls back the curtain and lets you see the struggle, the pain, and the moments of fleeting clarity that make us human.
With a voice that echoes Bukowski yet remains entirely his own, Case explores nights of desperation, bars as confessional spaces, and the strange beauty of broken lives. For readers seeking raw emotional poetry that doesn’t sugarcoat, this collection delivers.
Step inside. Feel the ache. You might just recognize yourself there.

What people are saying about this new poet that has burst onto the scene: "The comparisons to Bukowski's poetry are obvious: fast-moving free verse in what we assume is the author's voice; struggles with alcohol addiction, self-destructive impulses, and women; a hard-nosed, honest look at the world. But Case is his own person and his own poet. What struck me rather quickly in these poems are the connections to people." "I've read poems by Thomas before and saw him on YouTube. When I heard he had books out I knew I had to get them. I'm so glad I did. His work reflects different perspectives on life. from heartbreak to fear, to alcoholism and assorted others. Being his style is easy to read, I couldn't put it down. Each poem makes you want to read slowly and take in what you're reading, If you're a lover of poetry, I would recommend anything Case writes. "I've been lucky enough to enjoy the words of this tremendous Poet, I've been taken on a journey through each emotion and every image imaginable. The truth is raw and charming, a Poet with enormous courage and a great zest for life, I could describe him as a modern-day Bukowski but he is much more than that" This item is printed on demand.
