Fiction. In FIRSTS, Thomas Crowe writes in the long-standing German literary genre of the Bildungsroman (education through experience). In this linked-stories, coming-of-age book of auto-biographical fiction, we see and hear echoes of great writers in this tradition, such as Goethe, Joyce, Novalis, Dickens and Thomas Mann. Crowe's "girls" are what has formed him, and we follow him from place to place, room to room in these sensitive and engaging love stories, all of which have an unusual and unique twist.

A truly contemporary anthology of mostly living poets covering one hundred years of American poetry that comes from multiple strata, ethnic groups and literary persuasions from across the American landscape. A new and unique look at some of the USA's most important poets. A century's legacy.

Poetry. This unique collection of love poems from the heart and soul of Thomas Crowe that were written to various lovers over a forty year span of the author's adult life is reflective of not only his romantic passion, but his sensitivity and ability to dovetail those romantic passions with natural and supernatural imagery, sometimes surreal, sometimes stunning. At a time in American literary history when love poems seem out of vogue, Crowe's love poems come as a welcome and timely change to current factory-like fads and preferences.
