Taelen Thomas, local Carmel Bay bard and master of the oral tradition, is known for his golden, resonant voice and powerful stage presence. He creates and performs biological dramas in which he “brings to life” literary personalities including Dylan Thomas, Robert Burns, John Steinbeck, Jack London, and Mark Twain, often performing with musicians. The most recent edition of Taelen's poetry is entitled “Inside of a Galloping Buffalo.” He has recorded a powerful CD of the poetry of Robinson Jeffers, commissioned by the Tor House Foundation.
