Surviving Fragments

For more than fifty years, Marc Thomas has written occasional fragments that he calls poetry.
During the pandemic, he began to write again, beginning with a review of his earlier work. This debut collection highlights the favorites he has kept and reworked. Some date back to 1967, while a few are recent.
The topics, the styles, and even the opinions are diverse, with varied themes that touch upon moments from daily life, small and large epiphanies, and a recurring concern with language and the challenges of epistemology.
A former college librarian, historical society archivist, and government technocrat, Marc is currently working on a second volume of old fragments as well as a collection of new poems.
