the language of light: poems of wit, whimsy, and (maybe) wisdom

Nancy Thomas celebrates language-its sounds, grammar, quirks, and all that words can and can’t do. In these poems, she plays with common figures of speech in the English language, celebrates relationships with peculiar people, and attempts to approach growing older with courage and humor. You’ll want to smile, laugh, and sometimes groan. You may also find grace hiding in the silences between the words.
