Winner of the 2001 Poets Out Loud Prize, Door to Door ranges from the wry romance of "Changing the Oil" ("You make love the way you change the oil in your Oldsmobile") to the salesman in the title poem who sees "what the glacier sees in the onslaught of spring." The poems stand at the crossroads of mystery and love, hoping to trade their soul for Federico García Lorca's guitar, or perhaps Jimi Hendrix'.

Door to Door leaves me speechless. I find myself looping back again and again as I read, wanting both to grasp and savor Thomas's lush lines. His maniforld details limn the spiritual in the erotic and, perhaps more crucial, the erotic in the spiritual. (—North American Review) His poems are pitched instead at an informal level that is at once colloquial and nuanced, and capable of handling classical subjects as well as popular culture. (—Shenandoah) ...was chosen by Yusef Komunyakaa as winner of the Poets Out Loud Prize. (—New England Review) "This is a fresh, inventive, and moving book. The speaker here enters into a world, exploring, with an engaging openness and fullness of detail, a range of perspectives different from his own. At the same time, he acknowledges wishes the world can never fulfill, wishes he presents with a witty and exuberant loyalty. The dialogue that results is richly engaging."---—Carl Dennis, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry
