About Drop of Atom poems by Joey Salomone:
“Drop of Atom”, Salomone’s second book of poetry, is a poetic journey brimming with messages of love, mental health, and dwindling hope during the notorious covid-19 pandemic—all peppered with wit. Through writing that is stylistically diverse and bursting with raw poignancy, a highly relatable narrative is revealed. Within its pages, dire realities are also unveiled—albeit necessary ones. Experimental in its approach and cunning in its execution, it is evident that imposed limits are nonexistent along this literary path. “Drop of Atom” is at the intersection of the metaphysical and the tangible. You will be sure to run into the fantastical (ogres and pharaohs), the earthly (sunflowers and snowfall), and everything in between.
