Gary Beck Releases New Poetry Book VIRTUAL LIVING

Poet Gary Beck's new collection Virtual Living is a revealing glimpse of how our relationship with the world around us is an ever-evolving experience.

Focusing on how humans relate to the world via artificial means, as well as self-imposed affected mechanisms. Beck looks at the concept of living virtually from all angles and tells his story with just enough abstractness to move readers to choose how to inhabit their own worlds.

A peek into our world in ways most of us forget to see, these poems will shift any reader's perspective of how they relate to others, technology and the world.

Virtual Living is a 116-page poetry book. Available in paperback with a retail price of $7.99. ISBN: 1945247134. Published through Thurston Howl Publications. Available now through all major retailers, including Amazon.
