Press Reviews "Gifted lyric raconteur Tindall's style is pure quicksilver. It glides unpredictably from ecstatic Beat testimony to Raymond Carver-esque elevations of the ordinary to the sublime."--LISTEN.COM..."Low on pretension and high on conversational accessibility. Similar Artists: Charles Bukowski."--REAL.COM..."Moving and constantly touching."--REBZINE UK..."(Tindall's) phrases are diligently expanded into great overarching structures of metaphor, draped withbanners of imagery and bristling with intricate and exquisite turns of phrase..."--LETTEREX@ChicagoPoetry.com..."Much worthwhile."--NEWCITY, Chicago.
