“Writing a book of poetry is like dropping a rose petal down the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo.” — Don Marquis
Book Synopsis: WELCOME TO IRIE PARK, a book of poetry and a teacher’s resource for poetic literacy all rolled up in one, takes you on a mind-boggling experience into poetic thought and philosophic musings through a sober inebriation of conscious words.  This literary high makes Frank Gomez’s poetry question the way we’ve been living—and asks us not to repeat old formulae, but to re-think thinking!  Welcome To Irie Park—meant for the general public, the poetically inclined, and students (especially 11th grade through college)—is thus an open dialogue to instigate critical thinking and seek truth!
	BOOK REVIEWS: Praises for Welcome To Irie Park … A compelling must read giving words to otherwise unverbalized thoughts.  Words strung together so well they alone move both thoughts and feelings, as if they were your own.  This book is emotionally capturing, thought provoking, and delightfully engaging.  It is unlike any other, capturing moments of anger, sinful bliss, pain, agony, happiness, excitement, and other stirring emotions in a tantalizing encapsulation of words about life, work, self, and society. – Dr. Carolyn Gentle-Genitty, University Professor, Author, and Researcher   When one can bring a poet to inspiration and incite movement even if it is through her own creative pen then that is proof enough that one has done his work well and well you have done it.  I can hear the poet's cry in this work as his emotions bled across the page and I loved it!  I shall be anticipating another hearty helping (from the poetic chef!). – Indira Chavarria, M.Ed., College Instructor, Writer, & Dept.
