Tim Kahl is the author of Possessing Yourself, The Century of Travel, and The String of Islands. His work has been published in Prairie Schooner, Drunken Boat, Mad Hatters' Review, Indiana Review, Metazen, Ninth Letter, Sein and Werden, Notre Dame Review, The Reality System, Konundrum Engine Literary Machine, The Journal, The Volta, Parthenon West Review, Caliban and many other journals in the U.S. He is also co-editor of Clade Song. He is the vice president and events coordinator of The Sacramento Poetry Center. He plays flutes, guitars ukuleles, charangos, and cavaquinhos. He currently teaches at California State University, Sacramento, where he sings lieder while walking on campus between classes. The fascinating poems of Tim Kahl's Omnishambles remind me of the surrealist belief that the universe always gives us exactly what we need. These gifts can come while browsing in a Paris flea market, strolling through a mysterious arcade, or by leaving the hotel room door open to chance, as Breton does in Nadja. In this case the generous universe that supplies the poet is The Sacramento Bee. As he moves through its pages, plumbing the universal unconscious for gifts that coalesce as metaphor and song, Tim Kahl amazes us again and again. —Lawrence R. Smith, editor of Caliban |
