  How News Travels - POEMS

  This is a debut collection of poetry read by the author. 
  The specific beauties of the poems in Judy Katz’s How News Travels have to do with their accounts of actual human living—among family, among friends, in the real world, with its griefs and losses and growth, its immersions in time, hour by hour, day by day, its immersions in consciousness. The other beauty here, the perpetual beauty, is the illumination—the afterglow, the underglow, the aurora—with which the poet cradles and surrounds her world. A clarifying, eloquent distillation of the truth of our experience, and a wonderful book.  
  — Vijay Seshadri  
  By exploring presence and absence and presence in absence, Judy Katz creates quietly revelatory elegies and odes for the shifting relationships of mid-life: the death of a mother, the independence of grown children, the intimacy of romance and trust between husband and wife. These poems feel both inevitable and surprising, as they invite us into the passage of time. “There is a trail I can follow–– / each of us leaves it, / our light impress…” she writes, and we are transformed by her attention to detail, fresh imagery, and wonder. This is a collection to savor, for “who can sleep / when it keeps arriving / over and over / the world, the world.”  
  — Ellen Bass 
  The voice is so alive, often so playful—and again and again, you will find yourself in a dialogue with the unknowable....How News Travels is a stunning book.  
  — D. Nurkse

  USEFULNESS of HIPPOPOTAMUS THE -...

  I am staring at a blank piece of paper, wondering what to write. Where do I begin? My mind begins to wander-pleasant thoughts of Disney's Fantasia dance in my head. The dancing hippopotamus comes to mind, and this made me laugh. The result: I penned a poem on the hippopotamus from which a chapbook was born: The Usefulness of Hippopotamus: A Humorous Chapbook for Trying Times. 
  One cannot imagine a world without humor. Without humor, the world will be dark, cold, and a sad place, tragically lacking joy, cheerfulness, and laughter. 
  Humor is medicine. During rough times, humor will help lighten and lessen physical and mental anxiety. 
  In challenging times, I chose humor. During the Pandemic, I had to deal with my bladder cancer. In my struggle not to get depressed or dwell in negativity, to find solace, contentment, and peace, I chose to seek out beauty and laugh. 
  In search of happiness, the humor worked its charm, resulting in a treasure chest of joy. So, I wrote my chapbook, The Usefulness of Hippopotamus: A Humorous Chapbook for Trying Times and discovered humor even among the hippopotami! 
  You can, too. 
  Peace & flowers. Love & light. 
  Vincent J. Tomeo, Author/Poet
