About The Book

Its refreshing to read a poet who seems to have missed the postmodern memo about serial randomness being the minds great roadtrip. Instead what we get is a boots-on-the-ground empathy from a real wanderer who has Richard Hugos eye for out-of-the-way topics and towns a sincerity that doesnt take selfies a heart that can brake for a blue dress or blueberry patch. With a disarming candor Sherrys poems examine small moments which can ramify into large questions humor self-scrutiny guilt love or praise. In the end what the reader gets to examine is the archaeology of a life dedicated to the world. This book will remind you why you love poetry. -Joseph Powell author of The Slow Subtraction: ALSIn A David Hockney Landscape Poem when Tim Sherry says It is about the same same thing-an effort to find a place to find meaning 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 Sherrys 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 I Am Not a Gary Soto 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 fathers gray flannel suit 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
