Thoughts is primarily an adventure and romantic investigation into what it means to be a rugged and unsatisfied young writer in modern America. It is actually just what the title suggests - the distancing of thoughts from those that do not adhere to the modern climate in America which have helped establish a mood of social boredom, alienation and a basic distancing of ourselves from life. These are all thoughts that affect the poet; thoughts of love, nature, questioning, flight and revolt. This is a book which distinctly comes from the American tradition of writers. From such writers as Kerouac and Henry Miller to Thoreau, Twain and Whitman, this is a book which seeks to get back to the literary roots which make American writers distinct in their search for beauty and wisdom. The sharp contrast of the joyous writer who desires to become an artist is almost diametrically opposed to the spirit which pervades a defeated America. In the American tradition of writing, we could easily define this as a book searching to get back to those elements of life that give us our supreme joys. A book where staring into the night sky can inspire an incredulous journey.
