Abstract Thoughts of the Absent Minded is Rowdy Olson's debut collection of ruminations meant to explore a reality that is both macabre and mirthful.

"Rowdy J. Olson's 'Abstract Thoughts of the Absent Minded' is a collective book of poetry and has a creative skill that pulls you in with each poem you read. Rowdy's flair and artistic talent gives you an eloquent taste of Poe, Lord Byron, Valladares and Fleming mixed with his own deep, dark and beautifully minded originality. Truly it is a must read for any advent fan of the poetry world."

- Rock and Brenda Whitehead (Festival Film Director's of The Wild Bunch Film Festival)

"I must say, for one so young, (Rowdy Olson) has amazingly deep insights and a sense of maturity about his writing that most people twice his age do not possess."

- Sylvia Nobel (Author of the Kendall O'Dell mystery series)
