Produktbeschreibung
In this second edition of his second collection of poems, the author continues to explore those "Other Truths" that inevitably shape our lives in the many ways expressed in his first collection. These are poems fashioned from the crosscurrents of events that make up the life of each of us. There are glimpses of the past interwoven in the present, just as what happens next is the result of all that has gone before. Taken all together there is an underlying theme in these poems: the search for truth and meaning in the uncertainty of our time These are honest renderings of private thoughts and inner truths crafted in a modern idiom and written in free verse lines that mirror the patterns and natural rhythms of spoken language, creating a poetry that is lucid and eminently readable. THOMAS GRISSOM is also the author of three other collections of poems: "Other Truths," "Journal Entries," and "Neither Here Nor There," 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.
