Fantastic modern poetry,

This review is from: Sorry, We're Close (Paperback)
I greatly enjoyed Tarin's poetry, the imagery is definitely vivid, but it's not all flowers and waterfalls. If you're looking for tales from a real gal, living her life the best she knows how and the mistakes that are made along the way, then you have found the right book. Totally recommended reading.

This review is from: Sorry, We're Close (Paperback)
I purchased this book some time ago and I just keep picking it up and reading it. Every time it gets better and better. I recommend this book especially for people who never read books on poetry. Tarin's observations are so dead on it's scary. As a native San Franciscan, it feel's as though i'm taking a cultural tour of s.f, with Tarin in tow. Tarin is clearly a gifted writer, and she puts that gift to good use. An excellent buy that you won't regret!

deadly and accurate,

This review is from: Sorry, We're Close (Paperback)
Towers has been a big part of the San Fran writing scene for a couple of years now and I've heard her read at various events but this book packs a bigger punch than sound allows. That's right--here is a poet who is best read on the page. Saddle up with it on a lonely weekend night and you can feel the emotions, angst, and (yes-even) humor drip slowly into your lap. A powerful book.
