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.

What is this lovely book about?

Elaine loves to send and receive postcards. But nobody wants to do that anymore. Her friends have all gone digital. They’d rather text or email. So, Elaine decides to send postcards to herself. Empowering, outrageous, hysterically funny. What Elaine has to say on these postcards is not what you would expect!

Postcards to Herself is about a woman, her love of Holly, her Yorkshire Terrier, and a very fun and interesting life.

Elaine, in Laura’s story, found that she felt so alone. She solved the problem in more ways than one. How? You must read the book to find out.

Recently, a writing group I belong to started a postcard exchange. I have received the most fun and cute postcards with meaningful messages. I look forward to receiving postcards and am working on my packet to send out. What fun!

Back to Elaine and Holly and their adventures! You will learn a lot from these two. Check it out!
