Thomas Mitchell's essays on how to live well were completed in 1913, and reflect a clear mind and a good education, but also confidence about the world and society that were about to be shattered. No doubt some thoughts he expressed would have been impossible to reaffirm five years later. As we commemorate the centenary of terrible and unprecedented conflict, his intelligent voice from the past gives us an insight into how people thought before it and what was lost. This does not mean that Mitchell's ideas are not also an individual's, but it is now the combination of freshness and distance in this previously unpublished prose that makes it so compelling. His style also says much about the education system in Scotland and rural Aberdeenshire in particular, and his background was very similar to that of Lewis Grassic Gibbon. Though they undoubtedly had different politics, they would both have agreed on the importance of society.

The Way Summer Ends, Thomas Mitchell's new full-length book of poems, takes us to places imagined and unimagined, on a quiet, powerful journey characterized by the poet's deftness of craft, strong imagery, and lyricism. These poems examine everyday people, places, and situations, where the reader discovers their uniqueness in "the dark moon shimmering in an empty whiskey glass," "an empty chair, a dismantled clock, it's wheels and teeth forever disconnected," or a soldier "listening to the song of an automatic, the staccato of a submachine gun." The author's unwavering voice--confident, generous, and authentic--guides us every step of the way, and we understand this experience will endure with us.
Caribou is Thomas Mitchell's second full-length collection of poetry. The poems are humble, straightforward, generous, and range from the sublime to the mysterious, always with lyrical clarity. In poet Dennis Schmitz's words, "These poems live in the implicit, in hints and not-quite-kept secrets." Thomas Mitchell has an unswerving purpose in these poems, and he shares it with us.
