About Me

One of Thomas’ poems was recently published in The Vassar Review.
Fall 2025, Washington Writers’ Publishing House (WWPH) included one of his poems in the anthology America’s Future. Not particularly a writer of haiku, one of his first, of the lune or American haiku form, was published in a special edition of WWPH Writes. Earlier that same year, WWPH included an essay of Thomas’ in the anthology Capital Queer.
Other works of his were published in The Mid-Atlantic Review and WWPH Writes.
Spring 2023, Thomas served as a Washington Writers’ Publishing House Fellow where he created press releases and backlists for newly published books, proofread a poetry manuscript, and judged the WWPH Pride Poetry Contest.

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.
