Pebbles at the Beach

Raised in Kansas, Pebbles at the Beach is a collection of sixty-five poems by the author Steven Thomas Dykes.

Poetry, the eldest sister of all arts and parent of most (Congreve).

This was my introduction into becoming an artistmy first love. This novel dates back over a decade to when I was in my infancy of writing, and it followed me on a search for meaning and purpose through my travels across the great highways of the United States of America to even crossing the pond to sit in the Pere La-Chaisse cemetery in Paris, France, next to Oscar Wildes gravesite.

These one hundred four poems aim to express the life I lived from the age of eighteen to the age of twenty-eight.
