“These are the poems of a lover, and a liver. They rock with a Dylanesque profusion of images, and at their finest are reminiscent of the delicate, surreal poems of Lorca. With their weapons and witches they reach for the stars. Tom Lyden was a troubadour and a seeker, after poetry and after truth. His was the road less taken and these are the songs of that journey.” Mary O’Malley
