Tom spent his professional career immersed in numbers, although his hobby was writing poetry. While Tom did write some poetry starting in high school, he did not share this with anyone until he was about 60 years of age. Since then, Tom has published four collections of poems, a children’s book, edited a collection of stories by 8th-grade students in rural Kenya, and wrote the poetry for a musical piece for organ, percussion, and spoken word, entitled, “Shade In A Parched Land.” He coordinates a weekly poetry class via Zoom, which began the first week of the pandemic, and he has taught classes on poetry appreciation and writing.
On this day, Tom will read selections from his book Minnesota in the Raw. as well as from his latest collection, Pandemic Misneach. Tom will also read a selection from a book of random poetry, Pandemic’s Corpse, for which he was an editor.
