"The Light Looks Another Way" is a three-part collection of poems that chronicles the thoughts, emotions, and observations of a nameless, shape-shifting fictional character. A wandering soul from a shattered universe, he sets sail through space and time to find meaning in the outer limits of darkness. His travels have brought him to Earth where his human form allows for an experience that is truly alien. Is there light within human existence or does the light look another way?

Humor, depression, anger, loss, and spiritual transcendence. David Jonathan Newman's first collection of poems,

Jack Montgomery is a police officer who was always willing to help protect the citizens in his beat. But when the President dies and the rest of the federal government implodes under the weight of national debt, Jack faces a new job challenge. Keeping those close to him alive. WIth several friends in tow, the group flees to Jack's home on the fringes of a small, country town. Living off the land, trading with neighbors and fending off bandits, the group conforms to a new way of life. However; the self appointed, socialist minded mayor of the nearby town is going to redistribute the fruits of their labor - with or without their consent.

David Jonathan Newman's unique vision and mastery of language has afforded the literary world a rare treat indeed Although 60 Signs for Doomsday is the third installment of poems from an irrepressible voice of apocalyptic thought and end-time ideology, it concurrently weaves a subtle message of hope and union. The musicality of 60 Signs for Doomsday is undeniable. Word art is the best way to describe Newman's works--with the best poems being imminently hummable as well as memorable. 60 Signs for Doomsday is a collection of poems that comes precariously close to insanity--is the evil inherent in our world enough to push good people over the edge? What defines evil? Who embodies evil? Are you evil? Am I evil?
