Paint Yourself is a poetry collection whose very purpose is steeped
in the exploration of preconceived perceptions, and whether they
can be reconfigured, refreshed, renewed, viewing the world -
sunsets specifically - in a new way. The poems track this journey
into sunsets, a journey of ideas and perception, through three main
stages: loosening, breaking, binding; the process of gaining new
perspectives. Combined with the poetry is a range of innovative
graphical elements, drawings by the author himself, acting as
visual backdrops to the powerful words, words spurred by the loss
of a close friend.

Phrases like 'climate emergency' and 'ecological breakdown' are
just not going away, they highlight a reality. Not only a potential
future, but something well and truly underway for many lives across
the planet. Increasingly it is bursting through the fault lines of
our daily lives - if nowhere else, then certainly in our minds.
Speaking from his lived experience of mental instability Tom
explores in his book the myriad emotions around this existential
threat as he searches for light, wrestles with hard truths and
seeks to build solidarity. The poetry is vivid, lyrical and
profound clearly coming from a place of deep feeling. Tangled Yet
Coiled is a collection of 22 poems exploring the climate emergency,
the unifying potential of nature, and experiences of wilderness
that vault the ego, that captivate and sustain. There is a strong
thread of dissonance and uncertainty in these pages, as Tom
interrogates where mental health intersects with these issues. But
ultimately, it is written with the hope of turning powerlessness
into small acts of courage and championing the natural beauty found
in humans and all living things.
