Poetic Pondering: A Transcendental Odyssey (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781440118098)

Stetson Thacker is a gifted 17 year-old high school junior who has been writing poetry since elementary school. He has won poetry contests and has published in literary magazines and was the art editor for his Cuyahoga Heights High School literary magazine "Ephemeris". The name "Stetson" evokes the image of a rugged American Western cowboy. His mother muses that she picked his name "out of a hat" also noting that he shares his name with Stetson University. He is a strong 3 season Varsity athlete who has a poet's heart, an insightful mind and a quiet but charming and altruistic nature. His vast interests are reflective of a Renaissance man. He is an honor student, class leader, captain of the Academic Challenge team, city wide national vocabulary contest winner, a state qualifier for "Power of the Pen", community volunteer and founded his school's "Junior Statesman Foundation" chapter and serves as its President. He can usually be found with a book and his memoir is based on a book.
