An Excerpt: Boho Idyllio - Read by the Author
Early Praise
Here is mind-bending word-weaving of a high order -- supple, dexterous and delightful.
Tim can be lyrical, erudite, elegiac, even ludic if need be, sometimes all at once: he's a poly-poet. With so much contemporary verse resembling cryptic crossies to be cracked, Robertson offers a box of chocs. Enjoy.
Max Gillies
Unleashing erudition and bawdiness with dazzling theatrical wordsmithing, the voice in these poems is utterly Robertson's own.
There's a seductive recklessness at play as he exhumes bloody landscapes, throws his arm around Rimbaud, Baudelaire, Sterne and Byron, and causes the dead to sit up.
Bill Garner
