As It Was
"As It Was" is a deeply personal and evocative memoir by Helen Thomas, offering an intimate glimpse into her life and her marriage to the celebrated poet Edward Thomas. Written with lyrical intensity and remarkable honesty, the narrative captures the complexities of their relationship, from the early days of their courtship to the challenges and joys of their shared existence. The work is celebrated for its frankness and its vivid portrayal of the natural world, reflecting themes that dominated her husband's own poetic output. Through Thomas's eyes, readers are transported to the English countryside and into the heart of a literary partnership marked by both profound devotion and internal struggles. This memoir serves as a vital companion to the study of Edward Thomas's poetry, providing essential context for the man behind the verses while standing alone as a powerful testament to love and resilience. "As It Was" remains a poignant exploration of a woman's perspective within a notable literary circle of the early twentieth century, capturing the essence of a bygone era with sensitivity and grace.

A Conscious Englishman
'Did anyone ever begin to be a poet at thirty-six in the shade?' Edward Thomas asked. This novel traces how, after a lifetime of prose, mostly written in the shade of angry despair, he did. Utterly unexpected changes follow, more than his faithful wife Helen would wish. She tells her story of watchful devotion and, she hopes, influence, often threatened by their powerful friend, Robert Frost. Beginning in the iconic summer of 1914 in a rural world full of rich promise and beauty, it is a story of friendships, marriage, tranquillity and war. The complexity and depth of Thomas' poetry emerges through his wrestling with words along with home, children, sowing, harvesting and the perpetual lack of money. It is the story of decisions, change and consequences, in a rural setting where what endures is the natural world and its inhabitants, those lives of which, as we now realize, we are simply one part.

Listen Up, Mr. President
Helen Thomas, who covered the administrations of ten presidents in a career spanning nearly sixty years, teams up with veteran journalist Craig Crawford to provide a witty, history-rich examination of what it takes to be a good president and lead our nation. With sharp observations and dozens of examples, Thomas and Crawford outline the qualities, attitudes, and political and personal choices that make for the most successful leaders . . . and the least. Calvin Coolidge, who hired the first professional speechwriter in the White House, illuminates the importance of choosing words wisely. William Howard Taft, notorious for being so fat he broke his White House bathtub, shows how not to cultivate a strong public image. John F. Kennedy, who could handle the press corps and their questions with aplomb, demonstrates how to establish a rapport with the press and open oneself up to the public. Ronald Reagan, who acknowledged the Iran- Contra affair in a television address, illustrates how telling hard truths can earn forgiveness and even public trust. Part history lesson, part guide to the presidency, this entertaining and exceedingly edifying read highlights what presidents should aspire to and what every citizen should expect and demand from our leaders.
