Instead, what we get is a boots-on-the-ground empathy from a real wanderer who has Richard Hugo's eye for out-of-the-way topics and towns, a sincerity that doesn't take selfies, a heart that can brake for a blue dress or blueberry patch. With a disarming candor, Sherry's 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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e -Joseph Powell, author of \u003cem\u003eThe Slow Subtraction: ALS\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"In '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 \u003cem\u003ePages of White Sky\u003c\/em\u003e. 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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e -Joe Green, founder of The Peasandcues Press and author of W\u003cem\u003ehat Water Does at a Time Like This \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Approaching like ponies fresh from summer fields, Tim Sherry's 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 father's '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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e -Chris Dahl, author of \u003cem\u003eMrs. Dahl in the Season of Cub Scouts\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tim Sherry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 193665752X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781936657520\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Moonpath Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.32d","brand":"Tim Sherry","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43982409335039,"sku":"9781936657520","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_18708e09-557b-4b01-a427-9e69c02acd4d.jpg?v=1683260993","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pages-of-white-sky-tim-sherry-9781936657520","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
