Bøger af Michael Thomas

There are writers and there are writers, there are poets and then there are poets, and then there's Michael Thomas. Here is a man who is a Vietnam Veteran, has lived in a commune, has slept in doorways, and is a very respected C. P. A. How does this all happen to the same man? Fate, chance, whatever the reason, what matters is it did happen. In his first book of poetry, Michael takes us on the rich and varied journey which is his life, complete with all of the philosophical questions, and sometimes even answers. Yet, at the heart of it all is a kindness and a gratitude towards life that is refreshing and nourishing. If you like poetry, or even if you just like to experience the world through the eyes of someone who truly loves life, you will love Michael Thomas Poetry.
