Publisher's Synopsis
'R.C. Thomas's debut poetry collection embraces the magical and the mundane, the exotic and the everyday, the surreal rooted in reality. Grand poetic themes of love, death and great lives are cut with surprising twists and playful use of language, shape, form and imagery. The poet seeks 'an array of wonder' in 'Dig' and spreads his 'riches' throughout The Strangest Thankyou.' - Maria C. McCarthy, author of As Long as it Takes This expanded 10th anniversary edition of The Strangest Thankyou by R.C. Thomas includes a foreword by Susan Taylor, an introduction by the author, three additional poems and six haiku, nine black and white montage-style illustrations by the author, and the brand new, long retrospective poem 'The Do-Anythingness of Youth'.
