"Tyler Doherty surveys the ground and removes himself to the best examples of 20^th century poetry--taking them in with zen discipline and the naturalist’s eye for particulars  How precisely he has arrived at what Thoreau found out a century & a half ago! The fun is in the writing.  In writing without preconception or agenda--with all the traces of the fleeting bluesy present moment kept to the surface. To encounter with words--if need be with word fragments or made up words or words from far-off tongues¾the perceptions & thoughts & events that arise--unique, tender, unrepeatable."
