Collected Poems - Paperback

by Greg Luti (Author)

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.
