Thomas A. Thomas, born in Illinois to a medical doctor mother and a ballet dancer father, spent a lot of time off by himself in the woods, prairies, and fields, day and night, in allseasons. From the age of two years, he would not see or hear from his father for another forty-two years. That's a story for another time.Thomas found his way to the honors program at the University of Michigan, where he completed a bachelor's degree of his own design.

He won Minor and Major Hopwood Awards in Poetry, and his poem "Approaching Here" was choreographed and performed at UM.Thomas also got a dream job as Detroit Correspondent for a rock 'n' roll and jazz magazine out of St. Louis, called Concert News, interviewing members of many bands of the 1970s.After a couple of years of madness in New York City, he found his way to the Pacific Northwest, where he has made his home since 1981. He is now delighted to be a board140member for the Olympia Poetry Network and to be active innumerous online poetry and photography groups.His poems, photos, and videos appear in print and online, most recently in MacQueen's Quinterly and FemAsiaMagazine, as well as in Verse Daily, Gyroscope Review, Blue Heron Review, Cirque Journal, Vox Populi Sphere, and The Banyan Review. He has been included in numerous anthologies in English and in translation to Spanish, Serbian, and Bengali. He has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize for individual poems since 2022, and his collection My Heart Is Not Asleep, June 2024, was a Finalist in the Washington State Book Awards, 2025.This collection of poems regards the broad experience of his life, before, during, and after losing his wife to early-onset Alzheimer's disease.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. In Reverence, Thomas A. Thomas further unfolds his mystical naturalism, finding for himself and offering to us ways to weave desire and grief into the greater ecstatic whole of life. A poetic descendant of Gary Snyder, Thomas practices taking each moment as spiritual, erotic, organic, tragic, and joyful. His world is alive, and this greater life pours in on us if only we open to it. He invites us: "The water // carrying starlight down / from the high peaks." Even profound loss and inextinguishable sorrow prove, in his poems, to belong to such deliverance.-Jed Myers, author of Can't Be FarThere is something sacred about Thomas A. Thomas's second collection of poetry, Reverence. These are poems of both bereavement and beauty as the poet insists that nature's dazzling presence and the blessing of having loved will prevail over the most profound grief. Thomas drives into the deep night of death, where the roadkill of a deer foreshadows that of a brother, a father and a wife. Yet, we are traveling beneath "the currents that move the stars" and "bright meteors / trailing tails of blue" as the poet imagines beyond "death's dark territory.to that one light."-Heidi Seaborn, author of tic tic ticIn Reverence, Thomas A. Thomas brings the river inside the body and the body inside the river-and in that exchange, something essential is restored. These poems move between elegy and praise with the patience of water, witnessing marriage and mortality, the hawk on the hawthorn perch, the goldeneye ducks lifting a dark heart. Thomas knows what the non-human world has always known: that reverence is not a feeling but a practice. This is a collection for anyone who has ever taken their grief to the water and found themselves, briefly, held.-CMarie Fuhrman, author of Salmon Weather: Writing from the Land of No ReturnThomas A. Thomas's Reverence is a poetic treatise on love. Define that four-letter word how you will, Thomas writes to it in this perfectly-paced effort. Nature, wild and free, human and heart-bound, is the object of every affection, each rhythmically-tuned illumination. The lone critique? That Thomas isn't sitting alongside each and every one of us, somewhere near quiet water sharing a life, line by line.-J. Drew Lanham, author of Sparrow Envy Through a lens of mystical naturalism, these lyrical verses weave the threads of profound loss into the vibrant tapestry of the living world. This collection transforms mourning into a sacred practice of finding light within the shadows of mortality. This item is printed on demand.
