Tom Stodulka’s new anthology
FORMER Landsborough resident Tom Stodulka AM has released his fourth anthology of poetry which he will be presenting at a local launch at Rosetta Books on November 11.
As a former Australasian Law Awards mediator of the year, Queen’s Honours List recipient, conflict resolution specialist and legal practitioner with over 40 years’ experience, Tom has garnered extensive insight into the human condition. Tom said through the creative medium of poetry he hopes to reach out to readers and encourage them to embrace moments of reflection and gratitude.
“I want to remind people to find joy in daily life, and encourage positivity, hope and resilience; especially in the face of a sometimes uncertain and challenging world,” Tom said.
His fourth poetry publication ‘Life Is …’ shares forty poems that encompass a broad range of thoughtful musings around key themes of freedom, fortitude and friendship.
Tom said he hoped his latest anthology which also features artwork by his father would resonate well with readers, and that they would realise that there is always a reason to stay positive.
“While we no longer find ourselves in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic, we are now facing new challenges such as the cost of living and other everyday pressures which I refer to in several of the new poems.
“I hope I can offer readers both an acknowledgment and respite from these challenges and offer back a sense of renewal, replenishment, and restoration of spirit and fortitude,” Tom explained.
