Table of ContentsReviews"Timothy Russell's poetry alloys the grit of the Ohio Valley and the delicate brush strokes of Basho and Shiki, as only the white heat of a Weirton Steel blast furnace could do. Both lyric poet and ""Mad Dog,"" Tim was and is the essential voice of the region while never being confined by its boundaries. Tim is a hidden master come here into the light. Valerie Nieman, author of Leopard Lady: A Life in Verse The cumulative effect of reading Tim Russell's Collected Poems is simply staggering. No other poet sounds like Tim. He created a very distinct, recognizable voice apart from whatever was trending in the larger poetry world-humorous, precise, full of surprise and insight. Whether writing about the natural world or the human, Tim was always paying attention, seeing beneath the surfaces. This phenomenal collection brings renewed attention to his body of work and his contribution to American poetry. Jim Daniels, author of Gun/Shy: Poems" Author InformationTimothy Russell (1951-2021) was born and raised in the industrial Ohio Valley.
