Complexions of Being

Thomas Wells' poetry explores identity though various lenses such as self, music, imagination and history. One is impressed by the fearless nature of his work. He opens up about age, race, gender, identity, and politics. All of these issues are so vital to our community right now. Lush language moves the reader through poems about who we are and who we should become. In "From Stars" Wells writes: "What then is our place in the universe?" He invites the reader to discover the human among the infinite.
