Mike Bayles is pleased to announce the release of his latest poetry collection, With Suitcase and Bag. With Suitcase and Bag takes the reader on a poetic journey through places the author has seen, and back to places called home. Throughout the book, connections are made. As with everyone, those who leave often must return home.

Mike Bayles, a lifelong Midwest resident, writes about human connlections to nature, settings (mostly rural,) and with each other. With Suitcase and Bag is his fifth book, his third collection of poetry. He is also the author of Breakfast at the Good Hope Home, a literary collage.
