A Hit of Tim

--------------

Myopic Bookstore

Chicago, Ill

Sunday, Feb. 29, 2004

--------------



First tease of spring weather,

(Joan Rivers was interviewing on the

red carpet at the Oscars as I was leaving)

brisk drive downtown...(hellos to Chuck,

Tim, Tim's mom, grandma, various poets, et al.)



Tim's performing persona was sheer delight.

The dank basement promptly filled with the

wit and wisdom of his diverse and deftly crafted

poems. Selections from two chapbook collabor-

ations, recent poems, The Stanford Library

index card poems -(loved them), concluding

with the "Elephant & Castle" series.



Tim has impeccable enunciation and a mercurial

intellect which breezes through sound and meaning.

He uses crisp, authentic phrasings; deliberate

intent & humor; a technical wiz. 45 minutes of

fresh spirit & intellect .... adrenaline on my drive

home. THANK YOU MR. YU!
