Poetry. Always inadequate, impotently contemplative, a maximalism cognizant of its own confinement, DRIZZLE POCKET points anywhere but the page, life mingled with sentence, an embodied question of "who is tearing away from whom?" As Cole Swensen writes, it is a "tour-de-force of sustained imagination...full of a freshness, an airiness, and at the same time a relentlessness that speaks to Roberts's careful blending of compassion and determination." An "ambient epic" and "post-human tale of the tribe" (Noah Eli Gordon), DRIZZLE POCKET is an illustrated and performed lapping against the impossibility of answer. As Tan Lin writes, "Tim Roberts has entered the nondecorative unornamental structures of social life and the rain."
