The Search for the Reason Why: New and Selected Poems by Tom Kryss

About the Author :
Born in Cleveland, Ohio, I began publishing in 1966 under the Ghost Press imprint, reasoning that a printer was of negligible utility separated from his equipment in jail, and that books dropped on the street without address or copyright would obscure the trail leading back to the source. After moving to San Francisco in the spring of 1968, and escaping the necessity of confounding prosecution, I abandoned the effacement and set my hand to producing titles of poetry under the Cold Mountain Publishing Company and Black Rabbit Press imprints. The colophons continued to confer all rights on everyone, or to the authors, without listing specific points of origin. I returned to Cleveland in 1968, traveled back to the West Coast in 1969, and retrenched in Cleveland in 1970. Married in this year, we moved around the city with less mileage but on the same scales of frequency. My wife�s drawings began to appear regularly as serigraphs on the covers of the books. The hands of four children surfaced as interior fingerprints, tailing off in the 90�s. In 2002 I retired from my job of 32 years as a dispatcher; that is, telling others where to go. With the aid of a global positioning device, I and my wife Carolyn moved to Charlestown, Ohio, as the ice was breaking up, revealing hubcaps and wildflowers at the sides of the roads.

Review :
Review of THE SEARCH FOR THE REASON WHY: NEW AND SELECTED POEMS by Tom Kryss from �Bull Tongue� section of ARTHUR magazine, July 2006.Review by Thurston Moore and Byron Coley "Tom (T.L.) Kryss himself is well-served by The Search for the Reason Why (Bottom Dog Press).This is not exactly the Collected Works of Kryss we all deserve, but it is a great sampling of new and old work, both poetry and prose, with a smattering of Tom's rabbit drawings thrown in. It's a lovely collection. Kryss' writing can be as street and real as anyone's, but he also possesses a clarity of spirit that allows him to write about simple beauty without resorting to clich� or tired imagery. The smell and weight and feel of Cleveland (and environs) permeate the text, but we don't think you'd wanna have it any other way. Anyone serious about reading poetry should be reading Kryss. Now.
