Written between 2019 and 2022, this compelling volume gives voice to the often-unspoken concerns of everyday Americans—love of family, the cost of freedom, the creative journey of an artist, the beauty of human connection, and the quiet strength it takes to stand for what’s right.These are poems for the patriot, the seeker, the romantic, the skeptic, and the citizen who refuses to be silenced.With bold, rhythmic verse and thought-provoking imagery, Norm Novitsky captures the spirit of our nation’s founding ideals while exploring timeless human themes and confronting the modern threats that challenge them.
Each poem is paired with custom illustrations by Emily Walet, creating a powerful fusion of word and image that deepens the emotional impact.Inside you’ll find:Stirring tributes to American values and personal sacrificeReflections on media manipulation, cancel culture, and social engineeringCelebrations of resilience, love, artistry, faith, and the enduring human spiritA voice of reason in an increasingly chaotic worldThis collection dares to say what others won’t—and invites readers to think deeply, feel deeply, and never forget what truly matters.If Two Faces of a Patriot awakened you to what’s coming, What’s On My Mind will remind you of what we must protect.
