Retrievals is a collection of poems that explore personal experiences, such as the set of poems drawn from Catholic school, but also create personas from an assortment of characters, some tragic, some comic, as well as poems offering short observations of the absurd.
“I want to live in the world of Tim Wenzell’s poems. . . .
Retrievals is filled with humor, the deep undercurrent of a
third eye, and just the right amount of death to keep you perched
in your lawn chair, watching them all go by, hoping the
poe-rade never ends.”

God Wrestler: A Poem for Every Torah Portion
