Carnal Wreckage

Carnal Wreckage is a collection of eighty-one of musician/author/poet Tom Ryerson's poems and lyrics.
The major themes of the collection are love, life, and self. Although the range of spectrum may seem broad, the works contain a great depth of human feeling, experience and emotion, and are personal to the author; and hopefully to the reader as well.
A major theme of the collection is overcoming day to day challenges and moving on to the next ones. Life may not be a bed of roses, but it doesn't mean we can stop and take the time to smell them.
Tom wrote the lyrics and poems in this collection beginning in 1981 right up to 2010, and are a mere speck of the total amount he has written in the last thirty years.
The book also includes a current discography of Tom's recorded music.
This collection is a very interesting insight into the mind of a fictional novelist who also doubles as a singer-songwriter. He sings, he dances, he writes, he's Tom Ryerson! (Applause from the audience)
