My Cemetery Friends: A Garden of Encounters at Mount Saint Mary in Queens, New York

My Cemetery Friends is timeless. Walk with renowned author and poet Vincent J. Tomeo through garden pathways of life. Along the way, encounter other travelers, trekking a similar trail, embrace new acquaintances, and this will make all the difference. My Cemetery Friends is a celebration of life. It is six degrees of separation, how one can meet someone, and in turn, this can lead to other unique encounters. My Cemetery Friends honors our families, friends, our military, the forgotten, and the unnamed. We sing their praise while celebrating life, nature, humanity, and compassion, all in search of peace. Stroll with the author through a living museum over cemetery trails, and learn much about things overlooked before. You will not be disappointed.

"Tomeo strikes me as not just a brilliant poet but also a daring thinker who boldly stands up on a subject which is seldom talked about."

"My two main takeaways from this experience as a reader are to find the best method to share other people's joys and sorrows and to be thankful for the little life I have been given."

"This is a book I wholeheartedly endorse; it will get you thinking about your own mortality, which will enhance your gratitude for the present and inspire you to live it to the fullest."

-Pacific Book Review

"He blends these thought-invoking meditations with the pragmatic ways such remembrance walks can affect one's personal sphere."

"Tomeo's creative construction will touch his readers, enheartening them throughout by proffering vivid vignettes of life nobly lived and the timeless, etheric symbolism that pervades its ending."

"Strolling through the cemetery yields a unique perspective, as Tomeo sensitively describes it. It is depicted as surprisingly pleasant, a place of natural beauty tucked away from the noise of the surrounding city."
