Chances Are Few

Lorenzo Thomas. Blue Wind Press, $19.95 (144pp) ISBN 978-0-912652-77-1

""I didn't go out looking to write poems,"" writes Lorenzo Thomas in a new introduction to Chances Are Few, his first collection, first published in 1979, ""Poems simply appeared when it was necessary to write them."" This expanded second edition of that first book includes outtakes from the era, and arrives ""with dreams of songs just waking.""
