Sounds Like: Poetry.... but let others tell you.....................==================================== =========================== ============================================================ ===let me give you some adjectives to describe Masons performance riveting, provoking, illuminating, funny, worldly, heavenly, hunger-creating. ------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------------------------------------.Honest ly, when Timothy began speaking, I thought he was introducing the poem to the audience. But then I realized that he was performing the poem. It was seamless.. ------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------------------------------------.Masons half-hour Tupelo set flew by. The audience really listened; they were quiet and respectful. They laughed at the funny lines. They applauded during and after the performance, and we all knew we had just experienced something unique and meaningful..------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ----- .Theres a difference between writing poetry and being a poet. Lots of people write poetry, but there are only a handful of real poets.... Mason is a real poet who performs in a conversational, touching and engaging manner. His poetry has the cadence and timing of a song ... and, if you close your eyes, you can truly hear the music. ............................................................ ............ - Bruce Bressack - Hippo Press Manchester NH========================================================== ===== ============================================================ ===His lines come like heat-seeking missiles, laced with street smart humor and insight. ------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------------------------------------"His work is lovingly confrontational, pulsing with populist passion, sharp humor and inviting idealism.".................................................. ..-The Boston Globe ============================================================ === ============================================================ ==="His insight is genuinely hip because it is accessible. And sensible. And kind." ................................................ ~ Barry Crimmins, Social Satirist==================================================== =========== ============================================================ ===Check it out for yourself www.timothydmason.comand take some home at http://www.cdfreedom.com/timmason=========================== ====================================Here is poem recorded for the Touchable Stories Richmond Exhibit running Nov 9 thru Dec 15 2007======================================================== =======Old School - MA College of Art 1991
