Seesaw: Quirky Poems by Ken Tomaro & Nolcha Fox

This Poetry Collection is available for purchase through online stores. Born from a shared love of dark humor and playful wordplay, Seesaw is a delightful balancing act of wit, whimsy, and poetic mischief. Ken Tomaro and Nolcha Fox first crossed creative paths in the Thursday Night Poets group, where their mutual knack for quirky, offbeat humor sparked an unexpected collaboration. What began as playful exchanges-plucking words and phrases from each other’s poems to craft something new-quickly evolved into a collection that swings between the light and the dark, the serious and the absurd. Seesaw is poetry at its most spontaneous and fun, a reminder that even in life’s heavier moments, there’s always room to laugh, twist the narrative, and dance on the edge of meaning. Dive into this collection and let the playful push and pull of their voices keep you balanced right in the middle of the seesaw.

About the Authors

Ken Tomaro Never until recently did he consider writing poetry. Not when he slid from the womb. Not when he felt the first tingle of teen hormones. Not after he got married, divorced, moved to another city, lost a couple jobs, moved back. It just sort of happened. Ken Tomaro, self-proclaimed poet laureate of the Cleveland sewer system, has been writing poetry for a few short years. He’s not famous, rich, recognized or read in schools across America. He has been published in several literary journals, done a couple podcasts, started the YouTube channel, Screaming Down the Poetic Highway KenTomaro.com

Nolcha Fox’s poems have been curated in print and online journals. Her poetry books are available on Amazon and Dancing Girl Press. Nominee for 2023, 2024, and 2025 Best of The Net. Nominee for 2023 and 2024 Pushcart Prize. Editor of Chewers by Masticadores. Co-Poetry Editor of LatinosUSA.

About Solemnity Rites

Solemnity Rites, by Loralee Clark, is an account of reimagined myths and truths of who we are as humans and how we live our histories. In the first section, Clark poses questions such as what does a stromatolite’s birth, the forming of a desert, the process of grieving or a ritualized Neolithic funeral contribute to the ways in which we are an ecotone of the living world? In the second section she answers how we practice these histories through our personal powers and sacrifices, through the mysteries that our blood holds.

Clark sifts through what it means to live in relation to culture and landscape, to see into the magic that each moment holds. Solemnity Rites takes the reader on a journey through humanity, ending with the belief that even after death, life holds amazing mysteries.
