The Shaman in the Library

Hilarious!! Here’s a poetry collection that will not disappoint. From the pitfalls of seeking peace at a Zen retreat to discovering Second Chances don’t live in his neighborhood anymore, Jon Wesick takes you on a laugh-filled stampede that doesn’t decelerate or ever dodge the opportunity to deride the platitudes we’ve allowed to shelter us. Roger Aplon, author of The Omnipotent Sorcerer, AFTER GOYA & Selected New Poems, Mustering What's Left - Selected & New Poems 1976-2017, Improvisations - Poetic Impressions From Contemporary Music, and It's Only TV

I have followed Jon Wesick’s writing since 1995. Over the years, his commitment to writing novels and poetry has paid off. His poetry is unique in his wit and his original view of life.

His book, The Shaman in the Library, has his signature. Something is here that belongs in the world of Shamanism. Something is here that belongs in the world of our city streets. Each poem has power and compassionate and is an artful act of rebellion. Jon's book offers a geographic scope of imagination with its dashes of fable and allegory accompanied by the sting of common sense. Joe Milosch, author of A Walk with Breast Cancer
