Jeffrey Marc Winkelman's LEGACY poetry book addresses contemporary social issues of people of all ages, races, and genders. While Jeffrey writes about life, daily events, and relationships, some of his best work is written about controversial issues that society faces today. Some examples: (1) in the book starting at page 38 and continuing for eight pages, is a story poem in rhyme entitled Gay. It is the story of a high school female named Jenna who tells her mother that she is homosexual. The poem details Jenna's fear building up to telling her family, and the way she was treated by her family members and mistreated by her mother thereafter; (2) in the book at page 11 is a poem entitled Recognized Sin, which discusses the feelings of isolation and helplessness of sexual abuse; (3) in the three page poem Cradle Of Violence the author tells the story of a boy who was victimized by domestic abuse and the actions he took to overcome the enormous mistreatment that he was faced with; (4) without preaching or trying to enforce his beliefs on anyone, Jeffrey tackles that age-old question of religion and religious beliefs in such poems as Lord, Is That You?, One God Or No God, and Why?; (5) and Poker Fish is a four page poem about a player who plays his suited 8 and 3 hole cards in Texas Hold'em, creating a comedic story for the reader. Jeffrey Marc Winkelman also pays homage to the classic styles of poetry by writing a handful of Sonnets, and styling some of his poems after those of Emily Dickinson, John Milton, Marianne Moore, and Robert Frost. He mainly writes his poems in rhyme, using all different kinds of rhyme scheme. Jeffrey writes poems, prose, and songs in various forms of rhyme and free verse about social issues, life, coming of age, hardships, daily events, religion, science, love, and relationships. The book contains over 100 poems.
