Produktbeschreibung
In this collection of poems, Thomas Grissom explores a range of themes and situations gathered from a lifetime of lessons and observations. By turns lighthearted and serious, introspective and philosophical, uninhibited and irreverent, they are always open and honest expressions of inner truths. Taken all together they form a poetic rendering of episodes from the autobiography of a life. Written in the direct and simple language of a modern American idiom in free verse lines that reflect the natural patterns and rhythms of spoken language, they are lucid, uncluttered, and eminently readable. THOMAS GRISSOM is also the author of three other collections of poems: "Other Truths," "One Spring More," and "Journal Entries," all from Sunstone Press. He lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico and is Emeritus Member of the Faculty at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. In addition to poetry Grissom is the author of several works of fiction as well as non-fiction.

Thomas Grissom was Emeritus Member of the Faculty at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, where for twenty-two years he taught across a broad range of curricula including Great Books, literature, philosophy, physics and mathematics. Prior to that he was a research physicist and Department Manager at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he had responsibility for the design and development of nuclear weapon components. He resigned his post in 1985 as a matter of conscience, a decision chronicled in three separate accounts: Studs Terkel, The Great Divide; Debra Rosenthal, At the Heart of the Bomb; and Melissa Everett, Breaking Ranks. He is the author of The Physicist's World, Johns Hopkins University Press; five collections of poems, Other Truths, One Spring More, Journal Entries, Neither Here Nor There and Selected Poems; a treatise on archery, Principles of Traditional Archery; two collections of short stories, The Fawn and Other Stories and At the Top of the World and Other Stories; and a novel, Parodies of the Fall, all published by Sunstone Press.
