Sharing Good News

From one poet to another....


A long time ago, I hosted a poetry forum. It was a small group of people that shared their poems, offered suggestions, encouragement and inspiration. Over years, online friendships developed from the trust of sharing your work and appreciating the responses ~ and fortunately, even after I took down the forum, the friendships and sharing of poetry remained, carrying on to various poetry sites.

I recently found out that a good friend and poet was published. I wanted to share his joyful news!

Thomas C. Lugovoy is published! His book is titled, "With Each Breath of a Single Dad." Tom asked me to write the forward page for his book; I was honored to do so.

Below is the description of his work. (Tom shared with me that his girlfriend, Cathy, assisted with the description. They did a beautiful job, very fitting for his poetic talent.)

With Each Breath of a Single Dad is a compelling collection of poetry written through the years of marriage, the birth of a daughter, divorce, and finally, the task of raising a daughter as a single father. Lugovoy puts deep thought and complex meaning behind simple occurrences in everyday life that are often taken for granted. It is easy to relate to this coercive art of poetry as it is shown here in a range from somber to cheerful moments of experience. These writings are a beautiful display of emotion from the inside out which invite the reader to explore honest feelings of love, fear, anger, desire and more.


Congratulations, Tom! I'm happy for you and proud of you ~ It's an accomplishment well earned!
