Introduction

This light, this sword, this sabre, this Great White Shark, this grand collection of poetry, then, eats its way through any hole or depression. It is the sun to the disappearing moon, Jupiter to Mars, living in paradise not behind bars.

Background

Written in and around Grand Valley Healthcare Center, the nursing home in Van Nuys, CA where Luza has spent the last ten or so months, this landmark autobiographical poetry collection embraces the pain, suffering, frustration, longing and suicidal tendencies that come with a true artist's imprisonment in one of these facilities.

Themes

So, freedom chained, love aborted and harmony molested, here he is swinging for any fence he can find.

Questions and Answers

If the questions are: Why is human kind on earth? Where did we come from? What does it mean to be human? Then, NURSING HOME BLUES has the answers spiritually, philosophically, metaphysically, emotionally, intellectually and psychologically.

Closing

Tomorrow is a blue dawn, yesterday a red maple and today a green meadow. This tome is a buffet for poets and a cornucopia for writers and thinkers alike. Do not put it down!!
