"The Poetry & Lyrics of Jay Semko" is my first book of poetry and has truly been a labour of love for me. It contains a selection of original poems and song lyrics exploring my experiences with addiction, recovery, bipolar disorder, faith, spirituality, love, relationships, and the abstract realm. Completing this book has been a vastly emotional experience for me and I am so glad to share it with you. To those who have already purchased the book, I sincerely thank you.
