Check out the latest web update for Ken Tomaro’s latest Poetry Collection,

“You’ve got it all wrong.” https://www.prolificpulse.com/

Hear what Ken Tomaro has to say: “We don’t all get a fair shake in life, which will become clearer to you after reading this collection of poetry. Life is, among other things, a series of memories, good and bad, of death and grief. Hate and happiness. Kindness and compassion. Sometimes it’s just plain ridiculous and all we can do is laugh or shake our heads in disbelief. But, everything in this life is very real as are these poems. My hope is simply that anyone reading this book finds them relatable and that they evoke some kind of emotion whether it’s joy or discomfort.”

Reviewers have great praise for Tomaro’s work:

The voice in Ken Tomaro’s new chapbook, You’ve got it all wrong is at times despairing, often celebratory, and always restless, hungry for truth, not one absolute, but the many truths beneath the surface of every day. He finds the extraordinary in his life and in the lives of others, and puts it into sharp, elegant lines of poems written by a human being in a beautifully complicated, troubled, imperfect world. His poems raise questions, offer no easy answers, and go straight to the heart. They are particular but also universal. Readers can see themselves and be thankful for the significant fact of being alive. Mostly, these poems take you in, and delight. In “Well, hello,” the chapbook’s final poem, Ken Tomaro says, “wellness is in the eye of the beholder / it’s in a good cup of coffee / a good hand in poker or / laughing out loud when you haven’t in a while.”

Peter Mladinic, author of The Whitestone Bridge and Maiden Rock

Give me a nice day, some really good tequila and a book by Ken Tomaro and I’m good to go.

John Yamrus, author of Don’t Shoot the Messenger: Just Give Him a Good Place to Hide

Ken’s work speaks from the base of his heart directly to the base of yours, leaving the mind to eavesdrop. His words evoke moments, feelings, memories so strongly that the conscious mind can only hang on for the ride and this collection has you nodding in agreement before you can even process what was said. This gift, this curse of his, is neatly packaged up for us to experience in this collection

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.
