Samuel Gluck
Inspired by nature, which is home, love, which has
been a blessing, and God, the source of all being
Poetry Collection
"I feel each poem is its own entity, concept, idea, experience, or event emanating from,
and through, my being. They float around, and if I am lucky, I may be able to catch one."
In his first poetry collection, Samuel Gluck’s writing reflects a lifetime of experience. He bears his soul in poems and lyrics that are inspired by nature, by love, and by God. His writing is at times angry (Goddamn Blues), caring (Matters of the Heart), contemplative (I Am), gentle (Who Are You?), humorous (Radiator Man), lyrical (Help Me, Dear Jesus), personal (Destination), romantic (Un Poeme Pour Murielle), sad (Sole Survivor), sexy (Through the Dark), and silly (Purdy Gurl). There is such variety in his work that it is bound to appeal to a broad range of reader tastes, including yours.
