Larry D. Thomas

The Scribe

The scribe labored by the light of day or candle, clutching his quill, dipping it in ink and scratching each flawless letter on the skin of sheep or goat, deeding to his craft each grueling decade of his life, his sole extravagance the occasional, well-timed flourish of a letter of psalm or dogma.


Larry D. Thomas, a huge fan of Right Hand Pointing, was the 2008 Texas Poet Laureate. His most recent print-book is States of Red and Blue, published by Right Hand Pointing in early 2021.
