About Me

Piérre Ramon Thomas is a Black queer writer who grew up in northwest DC, Prince George’s County, Maryland but now calls northern Virginia home.

In 2022, Thomas self-published The Nomadic Poet: A Collection of Poetry & Prose, a compilation of his creative works which were written and compiled for more than a decade. Two compositions from this collection were published in Marymount University’s Literary Arts Magazine BlueInk 2021 Edition: “A Religion Unto Itself” and “One Second Before Midnight (11:59:59 p.m.)”. Compositions that will be featured in a forthcoming collection were published in Marymount’s 2022 Edition of BlueInk: “Devotion” and “No Place for Pink Black Boys”; the second poem received the distinction of First Place in the Faculty Literary Awards. His creative nonfiction essay “The Divine Energies” was selected to be published in Marymount’s journal of nonfiction, Magnificat.

Spring 2023, Thomas was named a Washington Writers’ Publishing House Fellow where he assisted the publication of three books, proofread, and judged the WWPH Pride Poetry Contest. Later the same year, one of his pieces, “Misfortune of the Perpetually Single Gay Male Romantic”, was published in WWPH Writes (Issue 63).

Thomas graduated summa cum laude from Marymount University with a Bachelor of Arts in English (Writing Concentration) and a minor in Journalism. His senior thesis won first place in the National Council of Black Studies Terry Kershaw Student Essay Contest and was awarded the Evelyn Ludlow Award from Marymount’s English Department.

He is currently writing a memoir of his life and working on his second collection of poetry and prose.
