Sinopsis

'ItâÇÖs refreshing to read a poet who seems to have missed the postmodern memo about serial randomness being the mindâÇÖs great roadtrip.áInstead, what we get is a boots-on-the-ground empathy from a real wanderer who has Richard HugoâÇÖs eye for out-of-the-way topics and towns, a sincerity that doesnâÇÖt take selfies, a heart that can brake for a blue dress or blueberry patch.áWith a disarming candor, SherryâÇÖs poems examine small moments which can ramify into large questions, humor, self-scrutiny, guilt, love, or praise.áIn the end, what the reader gets to examine is the âÇÖarchaeology of a life dedicated to the world.âÇÖáThis book will remind you why you love poetry.'ááááááááá-Joseph Powell, author ofáThe Slow Subtraction: ALS'In âÇÖA David Hockney Landscape Poem,âÇÖ when Tim Sherry says, âÇÖIt is about the same, same thing-an effort to find a place to find meaning,âÇÖ he could as well be describing the rest of the poems in Pages of White Sky. Many of them are set in specific locations-the Chihuly Garden and Glass Collections Cafe, the Ephesus archaeological site, a farm truck hauling grain in in North Dakota, The Crescent City Lighthouse, a little britches rodeo in Halfway, Oregon-but the real terrain of this collection is always the landscape of the human spirit. These poems are windows left open to it, letting its meaning in.' -Joe Green, founder of The Peasandcues Press and author of What Water Does at a Time Like This 'Approaching like ponies fresh from summer fields, Tim SherryâÇÖs poems, skittish and a little wild, transcend their domestication. His forte is deft renditions of the singular daily moments that make up a life. In a poem like âÇÖI Am Not a Gary Soto,âÇÖ he redeems his admission of a strict religious upbringing by reminding us that the poetic moment is not necessarily dramatic, that sometimes the subtle implications of a fatherâÇÖs âÇÖgray flannel suitâÇÖ is enough. Though they have fed on star shine and moon-brushed grasses, these works have been bred to carry us fast and far, and do so with grace.' -Chris Dahl, author of Mrs. Dahl in the Season of Cub Scouts
