RAW, RAW, RAW.. Pure rawness, realness is what one feels, shooting straight from "the hip" so to speak, that was the first thing that stood out for me about this author that he doesn't sugar coat anything, he is speaking straight from the heart or head, I can identify with that very well. Stripped is the perfect title for this book because stripped is what you going to feel like, stripped of your inhibitions. I am surprised I didn't float away in ecstasy reading the poems in the "SEX" section, oh lawd.. Thanks, Ty
A fascinating read!

A fascinating, delightful and satisfying read. I found so many poems that struck a chord with me, as some of my own feelings were expressed in such a passionate and rhythmical way. I picked it up and could not put it down until I had read it from cover to cover.

I didn't expect much and was blown away. In a mature and honest manner, Ty has managed to delve deep into the human psyche and strip it raw. He melds the themes of self doubt, lust, sexuality, human interaction, prejudice, love and relationship, into soul searching and searing words. It is difficult to not find at least one poem that articulates what you feel or may have felt in a particular situation. Excellent work!
Stripped it is....

The author has done an excellent job of articulating those emotions that all of us feel, or have felt, at one time or another. His use of language makes each poem renewable with each reread. Each paragraph flows into the other, giving an artistic dimension to the structure of his poetry. A great read all the way through, or one poem at a time.

Well this book does what it says on the tin. It is a beautiful thing to find that even in the mid week bustle something can reach into the soul as these expressions do. This writer is able to articulate universal experiences in such a way that we can not fail to recognize our commonalities as we each walk this journey we call life. Now if only someone would put some beats to them.
