Congratulations to Antioch Review contributor Michael W. Thomas (http://review.antiochcollege.org/spring-2002). Thomas has published a new collection of poetry, The Stations of the Day.
In this, his tenth title,Thomas again justifies Alison Brackenbury’s commendation of his work: ‘His poems are rich with the details of past and present lives. They explore the wildest possibilities of those lives with passion and humour.’
Peter de Ville, Poetry Salzburg Review said: ‘Michael W. Thomas’s poetry shows a real sense of exploration and discrimination of fine states of feeling…. Thomas cuts away all dead weight, creating a sense of economy with richness, and is not afraid of using a phrase that in a lesser craftsman’s hands would bring a sneer…. His language is vigorous and street-wise and his poetic tools work on experience in Coleridgean mode, dissolving, diffusing, dissipating in order to create a surprising world.’
Arresting in language, sharp in perspective, The Stations of the Day invites and rewards reading and reading again.
