 Plácido, by nodding onion, the chapbook imprint of the Virtual Artists Collective (Chicago) is now available at Google Play and may be downloaded as a pdf file for printing:

The collection is illustrated with the beautiful, original artwork of Steven Schroeder, the publisher/editor of the Virtual Artists Collective.

Through Plácido, a deaf and mute artist prodigy of Mexican heritage, Larry D. Thomas explores the uncompromising demands which "art" requires of any "artist" of seriousness. Thomas, a poet of extraordinary imaginative prowess, drops the reader into a convincingly believable world of family loyalty, sacrifice, and the pursuit of the highest ideals of human culture.

I am pleased to announce the e-publication of my new chapbook, El Padre: https://play.google.com/store/books/details/Larry_D_Thomas_El_Padre?id=cKceDAAAQBAJ

It was published by nodding onion, a new imprint of the Virtual Artists Collective (Chicago).

Announcing the release of a revised and expanded print edition of my chapbook, The Circus, by Blue Horse Press (publisher of the San Pedro River Review).  Several of the twenty-two poems in the collection were first published by Right Hand Pointing in 2008 as an e-chapbook.  The book is available for purchase at Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Circus-Larry-D-Thomas/dp/0692626409/ref=sr_1_3

“For years, Larry D. Thomas has been a contemporary master of the precise image, but with this new collection, we discover that he is also ringmaster and clown, lion-tamer and lion. In poems as well-honed as the knife-thrower’s blade and as minutely accurate as his aim, this exceptional book honors well both its overt subject, the circus, and its implied subject, the making of art. These poems are infused with the high danger of artistic enterprise and should be approached with caution: their stark beauty cuts deep.”
