Collected Poems
This book explores a writer trying to find his voice through explorations of nostalgia and questioning, as well as some interesting observations about our modern world.
In a little over 100 poems, Greg Luti takes you on a ride through his creative poetic journey with this collection of free-verse poetry.
The poems in this collection vary from about not even wanting to be himself, to falling in and out of love, to not being afraid of death.
Some are whimsical, some are funny, and some are just plain strange. Some leave you thinking about the world in a new way. This poetry collection has just enough variety to keep you interested throughout.
Here is a list of some of the poems
"Looking Out at Sea for Truman or Columbus" - The poet talks of a time at the beach and ponders questions of Truman and Christopher."Going Back" - The poet thinks of a time in his youth that he wishes to go back to but realizes that he cannot."The Year 1318" - The poet talks of how nothing he knows happened in the year 1318, making him question the very year he is in."The Collins Conundrum" - The poet discusses his interest in popular poet Billy Collins and how that poet got poetry correct."Hating the Boss" - Two people discuss their hatred for their boss."I'll Let You Decide What She Was Trying to Buy" - A woman buys an item from a store with the innuendo that she is not interested in the item at all."The Only Murder I Ever Committed" - The poet talks of how he had to get rid of his innocence in order to become an adult."The Meeting That Would Have Changed Everything" - A Chinese explorer asks a merchant where Ancient Rome is."A Therapist's Words" - A person goes to therapy only to tell the therapist they are not getting better."Micropoetry Sucks" - The poet knocks on the latest trend of micropoetry and all that it says about the current state of poetry and the world at large.

The Hit of Henry - A Novel
A reporter hears of a man who accomplishes an incredible feat in a local baseball game, but the more the reporter tries to learn of the man the less he seems to know of him.
In The Hit of Henry, you follow Tom, a small-town journalist, as he investigates a seemingly unusual moment at a weekend baseball game. According to those at the game, there was a stranger, that neither team knew, that hit the ball so far, they are not even sure how far it went.
What began as another story, the protagonist soon faces opposition from others deeming the endeavor of identifying the home run hitter as pointless.
Despite the uncertainty of the event at the game ever happening, Tom continues to search for this man, Henry, sensing that a man of that caliber should share his story. Tom’s journey has him go to a baseball field that is a dump, a nursing home full of cranky old people, a warehouse with a broken fence, to even an orphanage, to find out the question on everyone’s mind, “Who is Henry?”
If a man is to do such an incredible feat in a local game, surely this man must be able to be found, right?
Will Tom ever find this Henry man, who hit a home run longer than any ever seen, or was the entire thing made-up, a fabrication of a few weekend ball players?
