About this item
by Christopher Ryan Turpin (Author)
Carved from the root of Appalachian English and enriched by the dust and divinity of the rural South, Christopher Turpin's A Tune in a Blind Man's Ears navigates us through a patchwork quilt of memory, mourning, and mendacity, creating a coiled copperhead baring its language fangs at the haunted tongues of generations past.
Stomping with the same cadence as a revival tent, these oral, intimate, and unshaken poems give reverence to the ragged, sparse, and weathered among us
In the tradition of William Faulkner and Sterling Brown, readers will find in Christopher Ryan Turpin a kindred truth-teller capable of lyrical grit and divine tenderness. This small collection offers itself as testament to our language's ability to cremate and resurrect in a single song.
