<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Tyler Dempsey is an award winning poet. His brother is in prison. This collection of poems was "curated " from the letters Tyler received. The poems are sparse, yet harshly lush; full of observations, regret, love and hope. Even a bit of humor. Includes a recipe for Not Pizza.</p><p>Cover image by internationally recognized Joseph Rushmore.</p><p><br></p><p>"Hard-edged yet restless and heartfelt; laconic poems roughly hewn from behind prison walls.'</p><p>-Cyril Wong, author of <em>Infinity Diary</em></p><p><br></p><p><em>From the publisher</em></p><p>Tyler tweeted to the world that he was looking for a publisher. I replied. Within the shortest time possible, we had the first version of <em>Newspaper Drumsticks </em>on Amazon. This was during the early days of Covid. The reviews were many, thoughtful and positive. Tyler's years of work gave us a playful-yet sobering- look at what it truly means to be in "lockdown".</p><p>Now, as masks are no longer required, we are launching a proper version of <em>Newspaper Drumsticks</em>; one that is less of a fragile signal flare, and more of a well-made torch. <em>Newspaper Drumsticks </em>is a classic, as profoundly simple (and American) as <em>Blades of Grass</em>. Tyler has transformed his brother's observations about life in a constant vicious circle of bureaucracy into Zen-like poems, each as meaningful and brief as ripples in a pond.</p><p>Stephen Black Toledo, Ohio May 26, 2021</p>
