    Author

    Giovanni Maria Tommaso

    Giovanni Maria Tommaso was born in Rome, Italy and this small anthology of original poems, “AS SIMPLE, SIMPLY SAID”, is the first in a trilogy of compositions. He resides in Colorado and enjoys family and friends. Writing up to now has been a hobby involving the sounds and the music of words used to convey intricate thoughts and images. This blends well with his aspirations for writing music and lyrics which he wishes to pursue as his future develops, along with the continuation of writing more books.
