"With conversational language and stripped-down wisdom, Tim
Sherry's One of Seven Billion is at once intimate and anonymous,
revealing and evasive. In a time when many poets seem to value
irony and wit, Sherry offers poems that are intelligently solid and
emotionally honest. The speaker in many of these poems strikes me
as a modern-day relative of William the Poet from the long,
allegorical, Christian narrative Piers Plowman of the Middle Ages.
He questions without finding answers then accepts that the act of
questioning is what each of the seven billion of us must do to
exist meaningfully. Posing such impossible questions can be a
solitary process but despite the poet's "instinct for loneliness,"
he creates a community where Claude Monet, John Wayne, Lana Turner,
and The man Upstairs meet at the center of the universe to
celebrate life, love and the imagination." --Allen Braden, author
of A Wreath of Down and Drops of Blood
