~ ABOUT SUNLIGHT FROM ANOTHER DAY ~ "These are not just poems, they are portals. I wanted to keep reading to be in Tim's illuminated world, awaiting each wink and click and swirl of insight and, yes, love." ~ Susan Wooldridge, author of poemcrazy: freeing your life with words; also, appearing soon, Foolsgold: Making Something from Nothing - and Finding a Creative Practice. ~ ~ ~ "These poems will excite you to listen once again." ~ Shaun T.

(Bellows applauds Mozart's astonishing Ave Verum Corpus, Roethke's "Four for Sir John Davies," and Whitman's "Song of Myself.") The poems relish the holy music of herring gulls and all flying creatures. Their repertoire of raucous or harmonizing calls. Finally, the author pays close attention to the liberating contrasts in works like the Ninth Symphony - even the Sergeant Pepper's album. He observes the movements of an especially fascinating cat: his shoulderblades gyrate with mild spells, composure worth the price of
