Requiem for the Tree Fort I Set on Fire
Tim Tomlinson
(Author)
Description
You can move from city to city, but escape from one place doesn't solve old problems, it sounds new alarms. These poems--which range from suburban Long Island and the barstools of New Orleans to rural Thailand and the reef bottoms of the Philippines--remind us that places can be fled, but the impact of experience remains. Requiem for the Tree Fort I Set on Fire is a coming to terms with a scorched earth policy toward the past. It bears witness to the struggle, perhaps the futility, of traveling the world to find the self.

Reviews
"Tim Tomlinson writes poetry with character and characters, with moods and drifts, with the spoken word at its core, just as if the poems were miniature short stories." -M.G. Stephens, Alcohol Poems, Green Dreams, The Brooklyn Book of the Dead "These poems celebrate the broken things around us until they glisten as torches to light our way . . ."-Ravi Shankar, Pushcart Prize winning poet and Founding Editor of Drunken Boat "I cannot think of another series of poems that brings the gorgeous generous but also fragile and risky world of the ocean so forcefully to life. With these poems Tim Tomlinson forages and forges a confrontation with the sublime. " -Jacqueline Bishop, Fauna, Snapshots from Istanbul, The Gymnast and Other Positions
