This is my next collection, The Truth of You: Poetry About Love, Life, Joy and Sadness, which will be available in March 2021. It’s been a hard year and finishing this book while my mother was dying, in the middle of a pandemic and being unable to be with her made it even more painful and difficult. But I hope I have done what I’ve always tried to do, and made a way out with words. Drawing and writing this book was a small way out for me. I hope it can be one for you too. Thank you to my editor, Allison Adler at @andrewsmcmeel for her incredible attention to detail and care, my agents Erin Harris and Katherine Latshaw at Folio for their constant patience and hard work, and my wife and family for understanding, supporting and putting up with me scribbling all the time. Finally, thank -you- for reading and giving my words the best reason to exist. None of my books would exist without you. #books #illustration #poems #iainsthomas #iainthomas #poetry #thetruthofyou https://www.instagram.com/p/CG6ipoeBkBP/?igshid=gozludpjs3vl

The Illusion Of Things Never Changing

You think, "This is life, this is just how it is and how it'll always be." But you are living through something. And while , logically, you must know that there was a time before now, when things were different, and that there will be a time after now, and things will change, it's so hard to remember right now: Everything will change.

You are alive in a memory.

You, are once upon a time.

-Iain. S Thomas

“If I’m honest, sometimes I feel like we’ve been trying to find eachother in every life before this one, and this is as close as we’ve ever gotten. And I know now that we have to try again because we fucked this up. Maybe we won’t even be born on the same continent next time, or the time after that, and we’ll just spend those lives searching for something we can’t find, miserable for reasons we will never understand. Until we get to try again. Until we somehow find eachother in another life. “

The hardest thing to do when you go back underwater, is talk about what the sky was like.

The Future Is Made Of Stones

Don't be angry and make art often. For those of you who do not make art, will make war. And those of you who do not make war, will be left to make art from what remains.

-Iain S. Thomas

This is one of the very best books out there. The writings feel so personal, as if the writer was speaking to you and only you, as if he knew everything that’s going on in your mind, as if he knew how you feel. I wrote this for you is a short book, yet the words it delivers expand beyond the pages. The messages are so real and hopeful. This book is written for you and only you by someone who dares to show you how much you matter, and that there’s someone out there who cares about your existence and that life has meaning. I highly recommend this book.

"And every day, the world will drag you by the hand, yelling, “This is important! And this is important! And this is important! You need to worry about this! And this! And this!” And each day, it’s up to you to yank your hand back, put it on your heart and say, “No. This is what’s important." —Iain S.Thomas *With my misquote yesterday it was only fair to quote more lovely words from Iain S.
