Steven Edward Thacker

The author of this book has gathered a collection of different themed poems that he feels will appeal to most poetry lovers. Author Steven is a quiet gentleman by nature with old-fashioned values and believes that his fellow humans are friends he hasn't made acquaintance of at present. While he was recovering from Transient Ischemic Attack (a mini-stroke) and being off work for fifteen months, he decided to write this book and discovered a real passion for writing poetry in which he sees himself as a poetic painter in the sense that he can paint beautiful images in the reader's mind. Not only does he have an enthusiastic passion to conquer every challenge that life sends his way, but a strong belief that with unshakeable faith and purposeful determination, everyone can achieve their goals in life. With the following quote from the back of this book, he thinks it is very important to believe in oneself. BELIEF IS THE ENGINE TO OUR SOUL, IT CAN DRIVE US ON TO GREAT ADVENTURES IN LIFE. He has an overwhelming thirst to gain new experiences from life and from our fellow humans so that different point of views can be exchanged. I have written my collection of poems with a novel twist to poetry that the reader may feel brings a new way of looking at different aspects in everyday life.
