Kenneth Thompson is a writer from a small town outside of Toronto, Ontario. He has published two previous books that were a mix of short stories, vignettes, and poems. These two books, To Tell A Tale Or Two and Humor Me, centralized on ironic, comedic, and satirical views on the world while being interlaced with heartfelt expressions of the subjective experience. Kenneth decided to veer away from this type of writing and into more traditional poetical formats after opening a page on Instagram and TikTok that quickly garnered thousands of followers. This led to the beginning of Scars and Stars as it is a collection of all the poems that appeared on these pages as well as plenty others that can only be read exclusively in this piece of work. Kenneth intends to publish more books in the future that are in similar veins as Scars and Stars but does not wish to be limited to this genre. Kenneth has an interest in ironic, comedic, and satirical expressions through the use of poetry and short stories, and does not seek to be pigeonholed into any one genre. Honest expression can be told through many mediums and genres, and Kenneth hopes to explore as many as he can.
