Tomorrow Is Not Just Another Day: Reflective Poems

by Richard J. Ackerman Jr.

Overview

. . . hikers not yet born when the fire raged fantasize how wonderful it would be to have a cabin in this place where nothing apparently changes but the seasons. This second volume of poems by Richard J. Ackerman Jr. is a continuation of the nostalgia, compassion, mystery and humor found in his first book, A Hundred-year Wind. In Tomorrow is Not Just Another Day we meet a dustbowl farmer whose plug horse’s death confounds a young boy . . . two illegal immigrants involved in an auto accident they frantically fear will be reported to the police . . . a genocide escapee who miraculously reconnects with a lost love . . . an aristocratic woman who accidentally flushes her car keys down the toilet at a remote convenience store in the middle of nowhere . . . an audacious medical student coming face to face with harsh reality . . . a scientist who devotes his life to a discovery that never happens . . . a new college graduate who eschews his diploma to become a cement mason.
