Christopher Thor Britt Biography
Born in Jackson, Michigan in 1971, Christopher Thor Britt was the youngest child of Russell and Lynda Britt. After serving in the US Air Force for many years, he now lives with his wife, having enjoyed over 20 years of marriage, and his 10 year old son in South Florida, USA.
Chris studied poetry under Professor Michael Joyce at Jackson College, Michigan. Greatly influenced by 19th Century Romantic writers such as, Thoreau, Emerson, Longfellow, Lord Tennyson and Henley, he writes in the 'language of poetry' often without regard for the modern verbiage of his contemporaries.
His writing style is sometimes cryptic, sometime straight forward, but always honest.

Memory at its side

Along the beach at night
The salty air may bring a chill
But your arms will hold me tight

Held back to hide the pain
Like iced blades, they cut the ties
And mock these many faces
...
Chance the night, oh fragrant wind
Beckon to its drowsy calling
For ‘tis there she rises high
And in the morn’s seen falling
...
