About The Deepest Rooms:

"This accomplished first collection of poems by Randolph Thomas announces itself in rich poetic narrative and character invention, well-wed in the art of the persona, which has too often been rendered as unmasked autobiography in much of the poetry of the second decade of the twenty-first century. We can happily detect a sweet new sound in the work of Randolph Thomas, a young master in full career."
—Michael Heffernan
