"Pure Pop is just that—a little bit of Coke, a little bit of homage to the Pops of the New York School, and a lot of heart. Tim Lane's gracefully fluent lyrics are celebratory, immediate, full of feeling, and full of life. Without falling into sloppy sentimentality or clunky derivation, Lane conjures his own world while stealing fire from the masters." —Lisa Jarnot, author of Black Dog Songs and Ring of Fire
Tim Lane is an exceptional poet (and artist) currently writing in the Lansing, Michigan area. Pure Pop highlights Lane's ability to communicate wonderfulness. Lane's poetry suggests an unapologetic love of life, or love for life, in a way is stunningly beautiful in the emotion his writing evokes. Even the most uninformed on poetry (me) will enjoy Tim Lane's work.
