The Memory Caves

By Thomas Wells

Exploring the oftentimes dark caverns of the human condition, Thomas Wells' The Memory Caves takes its readers on an emotional odyssey. And as that word implies, it can often be eye-opening. Particularly as Wells addresses such increasingly hot-button issues as the effects of AI and mass shootings, while also delving into more "classic" problems of humanity. For example, that tried-and-true plight of any non-narcissist: feelings of total insignificance in an infinite universe. But whatever topic Wells tackles in this artful, affecting collection, he does so with an undeniable passion. And yes, even hope for humanity's future.

Customer Reviews

The Memory Caves is Evocative and deeply Introspective

Thomas Wells’ powerful poetry shows us that he knows what matters, as he tells us in the title poem, he delves into the “deep subterranes of experience”. His poems explore everything from the “pink flamingo neighborhoods of moral decay” to a lover’s kiss that he never forgets. You will find these poems unforgettable, too.
