Three Beers from Oblivion

"In Kentucky music and poetry are mountainous. Tommy Gaffney is a poet. regardless of where he travels, where he lives, where he writes, where he reads, he is a Kentucky poet. Poetry and Kentucky are in his blood, his soul. Kentucky is poetry. Poetry seeps from the ground here, from the water and the whiskey we drink. Poetry pours from our pores. In Kentucky we sweat poetry. Kentucky is a place where heroes still grow. A hero is honest, fearless, compassionate. Tommy is a hero. His poems sing from the mountains of Oregon to the mountains of Kentucky and Beyond. Tommy Gaffney is a poet, a Kentucky poet, one of the best." Ron whitehead,
