Strange Thoughts James Sawers

This book would not exist without the current pandemic. I was working on two other books before the pandemic hit, but got sidetracked into this project somewhere along the way. My mind just seemed to classify things pre-pandemic and pandemic, with the pandemic work taking on a somewhat different tone, as expressed in this book of poetry. Poetry can cover a lot of topics, as do the poems in this book. However, most of the poems here fall under the category of "strange", as in they may be considered unusual or surprising..... Poems on weird stuff - from sci-fi, to love, to politics. Weird also in that these topics are brought together at all, and yet have a sort of symmetry that seems to make "strange" a normal part of our lives - as it seems to have become.
