Lightning Rides and Other Highs

Tom Lucas

Born in Detroit. Kept to myself a lot. Read comics. Broke things. Started fires. One day I was older and started making a lot of mistakes. I also started writing. Got a bunch of tattoos and was convicted of conspiracy. Born in Detroit. Kept to myself a lot. Read comics. Broke things. Started fires. One day I was older and started making a lot of mistakes. I also started writing. Got a bunch of tattoos and was convicted of conspiracy. Moved to LA. Moved back from LA. Moved to Florida. Wrote a bunch along the way. Still in Florida and getting ready to publish a novel.

If life was fair, I would be dead. So three cheers for INJUSTICE!

I’ve been through a lot, and I survived. The poetry in this book is the real deal, I put it all out on the table for you. My thinking is you will find something that speaks to you and your experience as well. Pain is universal.
