After the Dream Poems: 2009-2011 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781728347226)

The eighth five-book collection of poetry by poet and writer Thomas Porky McDonald, After the Dream: Poems 2009-2011, brings the author even closer to home than in his previous work, with a thought to where the world is headed. The title poems for each of the five books in the mix, Born in the City, The Class of No Return, Touched by Life, Back to Astoria and What Lies Ahead, all speak of a man still searching to incorporate his early life into the realities of the 21st Century. Other notable pieces from each collection include "Friendships to Eternity," "Together One, as Always" (City), "While the Leaves Blew," "Always too Old to Change Anything" (Class), "When the Game Simply Took You Away," "I've Never Forgotten About Friendship" (Life), "Scenes From a Lost Neighborhood," "When Fear Overrides Our Humanity" (Astoria), "Needed in the Land of the Needy" and "A Glimpse of Bernadine" (Ahead). A solid entry from the still wandering and wondering balladeer.
