Chess Moves on Old News: Part Two

Chess Moves on Old News (part two) is the second book written by the author and is titled as such to capture the dynamic of the knight (rook) in chess as it jumps around on beliefs of old views and applies a fresh set of eyes thinking. The author hopes his poetry gives food for thought to readers who are able to see the strategic moves and plots that shape our conscious or unconscious mind and how we handle the end result.

Wayne Jasmin is a mental health nurse who has used his nursing experience and his own nights of insomnia to convey in verse some of the feelings people who experience either can relate to. Writing poetry became something of interest to the author later in life, around his mid thirties and was very much influenced by his mothers earlier written work. His poetry went hand in hand with his own interest in art and its varied styles such as technical drawing, sketching and graffiti as he found it to be another way to creatively express himself. After years of rich and varied friendships the author is able to touch on matters of interest that links to most peoples' psyche as he uses life experiences of acquaintances to shape much of his poems.
