Critical Praise for Ted Thompson Ted Thompson's first collection of magical poetry and surreal paintings continues to win awards and extraordinary reviews. ""Meetings with The Gods" is one of the top ten books published in 1994."-"Dusty Dog Reviews" of Gallop, New Mexico "This man delights in musical ornamentation and he uses so unpretentiously and so easily that a certain sweetly delicious naivete flavors the whole work. This is so enchanting and so rare. Mr. Yeats' echo may have been heard in "Meetings With The Gods," and bravely."-Dave Castleman, Poetry Editor "The sense of play, the spiritual versus the merely religious, the lyrical lilt of his verse-all aspects that make this poetry a joy to read."-June Sylvester, Editor of "The Sierra Nevada Review""
