Never have I read a collection of works which so effortlessly transported me to the author's world. Evocative and easy, his poetry is an escape. Reading his words I suddenly find myself in Tuscarora, or sitting outside at a restaurant table daring the storm to come....I look forward to this poet's next collection!

It's about your cowboys, real or imagined, and the holes a spur can cause in your heart.Jason Tinney has captured the barren earth that is all we are when you take away the frill. Got a guy who needs a Christmas/ Hannukah or Birthday present that will open his eyes? Slip this into his back pocket.Dr. Sheila Dunnells
This will end up dog-eared in your back pocket

Jason Tinney's poems are a whirlwind of complicated moments, defined by the colorful insights that make them so. It's clear from the start that we will get everything we need to know and nothing we don't. This plainspoken poet has a tricky way of being intimately sincere and elusive at the same time, leaving us desperately panting for more. This is the new american-man-poet in its most alluring form.
tinney- a new young phenom-
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I had seen tinney perform some time ago with one of his musical groups and had picked up his book via the internet on a whim-What a talent, and what a great young poet- his writing is pure Americana- and a joy to read- Anyone with a flare for the "poetic phrase" is sure to be satisfied by this book. If you are a fan of Dylan, Guthrie, or Williams (yes they are all song writers- and so is Tinney) you will find yourself reaching for a guitar as you thumb through his verse.
