Start with a Small Guitar
Start With A Small Guitar is a revelatory work.  In these starkly-crafted and lyrical stanzas, rules are broken, expectations shattered, new paths are forged and rafters rattled.  Thompson is a deft craftswoman whose only direction is forward.  This, ladies and gentlemen, is where poetry is going.  Catch up if you can.      Patricia Smith,Shoulda Been Jimi SavannahLynne Thompson does what the bravest poets do best--she returns to the past to offer us a glimpse into ourselves.  Start With A Small Guitar is the star-filled view from the tarmac, a record of what escapes from the opened mouth, a gaze into the once-locked drawers of memory.  In elegant and concise stanzas, Thompson offers us a poetry of necessity as pure as desire and as warm as breath.    Jacqueline Jones LaMon,Last Seen
