"Jazz squawking—punning—twisted linguistically—with an ingrown narrative of other worldliness poking through the myriad idiocies of the current fictional Reality—hunch-heavy, mysterious, funny—soulful, whacked, irritated with a human-produced status quo—rhythmic, torqued and moving—Steve Timm doesn’t want to accept the world as sold to him, nor does he want to replicate its mollifying soundings; his poetry anchors itself in the confusedly free spaces of multi-emotionality that exists in everyone’s heads but which we are so hoping to keep at bay for our sanity. Timm’s poetry is out to expose that sanity as a fabrication, and to imply that weeds are not nuisances, but living, giving things." --James Wagner
