Two Bits and Odd Days presents a collection of poetry written by author Thomas Springer over a thirty five year span. It consists of previously unpublished material, printed as a collection for the first time. Springer seeks to share his thoughts and insights through original poetry, recalling images and experiences as he has bumbled through his first fifty years. There is no controlling theme, intended or implied. From paying two bits for some candy to remembering the beauty of the Puget Sound, he relates sights and sounds from the mundane to the magnificent. Two Bits and Odd Days offers a deeper understanding of life and language and gives us the chance to take a moment to stop, look around, and wonder.
