Praise
Sea Shanties of Old Vermont weaves a nostalgia-producing return trip to Brattleboro with the memories now ghosting this one-time home of the author. A straightforward earnestness, given a jolt of punk rock angst . . .covers Tieger’s acquaintance-infested Vermont.

Excerpt
IV. Sea Shanties of Old VT
These are the songs
we used to sing: Will the circle
be unbroken shallow oh
shallow brown I’m a fool
to do your dirty work
sweet Sally MacLennan will I see
you tonight bass! how low
can you go on a downtown train
you got me ringing hell’s bells
this is my condition
and we saw St. Elmo’s Fire
spitting ions in the ether
start the riot
now
