Movement On The Face Of Water
In his second book, Mick Tomlinson provides his readers with another round of hard-hitting poems written over the course of five years (2011-2015) while living on the west coast. During this time of introspection, the author shares his examination of the twisted mess of wires inside his head via poetry. Picking up where his first book left off, Movement Over The Face Of Water continues the author's exploration and improved understanding of God and society. Anger, alcoholism and past abuse remain a recurring theme, as well as trust and intimacy issues and their effect on the relationships between himself and others. In addition to the aforementioned, an interest in American politics and history of world governments begins to appear, which further advances his broad impression of humanity.
