It's Just a Hop, Skip, and a Jump to the Madhouse is a powerful collection of poetry by American poet and author, Thomas W. Case. The poetry is raw and gritty. There is honesty and truth in the writing of Thomas W. Case, which is refreshing in today's world of contrived and polished literature. Once you start reading this book, it will be difficult to put it down. The themes range from addiction to heartbreak and always a semblance of victory for the downtrodden soul. His creativity and insight are brilliant and fresh in this poetry compilation.

"It's Just a Hop, Skip, and a Jump to the Madhouse" by Thomas W. Case is a compelling collection that captures the essence of everyday life with a raw, gritty edge. Born in Oxnard, California, Case has a reputation for his evocative and powerful poetry, earning comparisons to Leonard Cohen and Charles Bukowski. This volume, featuring poems that have appeared in numerous anthologies worldwide, showcases Case's unique voice and unflinching honesty. His work has been celebrated in Lyrical Iowa and the Poetry in Public Project Iowa City. This volume is a must-read for lovers of contemporary poetry, offering a poignant, explosive glimpse into the human experience.

What people are saying about this new poet that has burst onto the scene:
"The comparisons to Bukowski's poetry are obvious: fast-moving free verse in what we assume is the author's voice; struggles with alcohol addiction, self-destructive impulses, and women; a hard-nosed, honest look at the world. But Case is his own person and his own poet. What struck me rather quickly in these poems are the connections to people."

"I've read poems by Thomas before and saw him on YouTube. When I heard he had books out I knew I had to get them. I'm so glad I did. His work reflects different perspectives on life. from heartbreak to fear, to alcoholism and assorted others. Being his style is easy to read, I couldn't put it down. Each poem makes you want to read slowly and take in what you're reading, If you're a lover of poetry, I would recommend anything Case writes.

"I've been lucky enough to enjoy the words of this tremendous Poet, I've been taken on a journey through each emotion and every image imaginable. The truth is raw and charming, a Poet with enormous courage and a great zest for life, I could describe him as a modern-day Bukowski but he is much more than that"

Thomas Case is a master craftsman of the woven word. His sardonic view of a challenged life carries the reader through the depths and heights of experiences with a colorful cast of individuals that crossed his path. His clever turns of phrases will stay with you long after the final word.
