"""'With poetry around me, ' writes Kalia Kao Yang in The Song Poet, 'the entire world is a garden of meaning.' This is my sensation as I read Tim Gillespie's poems, for they are rooted in a life enriched by reading the world through a teacher's eye: what lessons yearn from this old book, this rusty story, this vagabond street, this twinge in an old

heart quickened by a young life? His ways of seeing and saying reveal a hunger for meaning, apprehending, reaching through surface for grit. An errand becomes a quest, and homecoming a mythic venture. What was simple grows deep, and what was overlooked becomes vivid. Read these poems, and enter the garden of meaning.""
