Wait for yourself, and be patient with yourself and others. Wait. There's a kind of kindness that can set on your heart." Through the project, he was also able to have skateboards delivered to The Uganda Skateboard Union on behalf of Stacy Peralta, director of Dogtown And Z-Boys and Riding Giants and he’s previously acted as a creative consultant to Brian Wayne Transeau or “BT” (whose previous collaborators include Peter Gabriel, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and David Bowie, amongst others) on his last album, If The Stars Are Eternal, So Are You And I.

Bila dilihat secara umum, rangkaian kata-kata Thomas tidak hanya indah mempesona tetapi juga lembut menyentuh batin. Mungkin ciri khas ini yang membuatnya pernah masuk dalam nominator Goodreads Choice Award untuk puisi terbaik. Ia pernah pula duduk sebagai direktur kreatif di beberapa brand besar seperti Nike dan Levi’s. Ian Thomas is a well known author but for me its the first book I read. I want to change this soon because I absolutely adored it. This poetry collection was everything I didn't know I needed. Typically, I don't read a lot of male poets, not because they are not brilliant, I just don't relate strongly to a lot of the thematic and personal elements that, in my opinion, make poetry so enjoyable. But, I saw this particular book on Netgalley and was in the mood for something poetic.Iain S. Thomas adalah penyair dan penulis asal Afrika Selatan. Pada awalnya ia populer melalui blognya, “I Wrote This For You,” yang kemudian dibukukan. Kecantikan tutur bahasanya bahkan membuat para pesohor ikut mengutip, seperti Kourtney Kardashian, Steven Spielberg, dan Ariana Huffington. Buku ini bisa jadi teman, bahkan menjadi mulut dan lidah anda agar anda tak merasa sendiri dan bisu. Walaupun hanya kertas, buku ini mampu membaca pikiran dan mewakili apa yang dipikirkan dan dirasakan pembacanya.

Iain Thomas is my favourite writer. Author. Poet. He honestly seems to be an advocate for self-love, for loving others, for recognising good from bad and good from great, for love, full stop. He seems to be an advocate for enjoying whatever it is you find in this world that you enjoy. I enjoy his work, more than I’m sure any language can help me spell out, and yet each time I try.His work has won numerous local and international awards and can be found in Communication Arts, Design Indaba Magazine, Ad Vantage Magazine, bestadsontv.com, Contagious Magazine, Archive, The University of Pretoria’s Permanent Design Collection, X-ings: Shaping Culture Through Design Exhibition, The United Nations Gallery of Sustainable Communication, TEDx, Heso Magazine (Japan) and http://www.inpursuitofelegance.com Join the Get The Chance group on Facebook for updates and opportunities to get involved.

It’s like everything inside me, everything I have ever wanted to say when my father told me I wouldn’t succeed because I was depressed, when my mother told me to leave her house, when I was the talk of the household and I couldn’t find my voice, when I was bleeding and nobody said anything. Sadly I couldn't´finish this copy in time. After half of the book my time run out and I couldn't finish it. I still want to give a review about the half I've read.

There is only one real sin in the end, and that's not being who you are, not listening to your should, and forgetting who you wanted to be." Raw, real and vulnerable. Iain S. Thomas still has that magic with words, making you feel that you are human and you have emotions. This book was more than the sum of its parts, and I was here for all of it. Sepanjang hidupnya ia menerbitkan 10 buku dan 2 puisi pendek. Di antaranya “I Wrote This For You (2011)”, “25 Love Poems to NSA”, dan “Who You Were Before You Were You”. Karya-karyanya, termasuk Every Word You Cannot Say ini masuk dalam daftar eksklusif Barnes & Noble.
