Reviews
"In these poems of turnpikes, water, and migraine light, filled with grief and life, the poet tells us it's all right that 'we don't love / living.' Here, precision is a form of metaphor, language a facet of experience; the poet writes with a kind of allusive purity and vulnerability--'each thought a texture'--that I find moving. Rise and Float is that rare thing, a book of one striking poem after another. If I could write something as tender and nearly perfect as 'You're the One I Wanna Watch the Last Ships Go Down With'--a lightning strike, Randall Jarrell might have called it--then I'd consider giving up writing." --Randall Mann, Praise for Rise and Float "Lyrical and arresting . . . Tierney''s Rise and Float , about forging ahead despite the burdens that weigh the spirit down, is perhaps the most honest representation of trying to survive in the current state of the world." --Rigoberto González, San Francisco Chronicle "Masterful . . . The language, gorgeous in its precision, remains as its own testament of perseverance . . . This is a book that rises despite what it knows, celebrates the float of disbelief that poetic language allows, and mourns the precise place on the linoleum where those mirages fail." --Noah Warren, Los Angeles Review of Books "Nothing short of exquisite . . . It has been a long time since I''ve read a debut collection that stirred me as deeply as Rise and Float , and I highly anticipate more poems of beauty and truth from this poet." --Katya Buresh, Chicago Review of Books "Tierney''s finely wrought debut captures the electric movement of his mind . . . This powerful collection offers readers a probing, visual, tactile exploration of the past, while allowing space for tenderness and understanding." -- Publishers Weekly "Tierney shows that the lowest points of human experience also prompt us to view the world in a new light, implying that an unfamiliar but authentic vibrance may be an unintended aftereffect of anxiety, depression, loss, or suffering . . . Tierney takes a humane approach and tenderly guides his readers toward a settlement with ever-present grief. There''s something comforting about setting aside the quest for ''wholeness'' in order to step back and take in what, and who, linger all around us." --Tryn Brown, Colorado Review "Brian Tierney''s debut poetry collection, Rise and Float . . . is a tender and expansive collection that refuses to shy away from the depth of human experience. With a particular focus on the grief that is inextricably tied to living, Tierney showcases his ability to describe even the darkest moments with vibrancy." --Marissa Ahmadkhani, The West Review "Brian Tierney''s Rise and Float is resonant with the desire for rapture and the never-easing reality of loss. How do we go on living, these poems seem to ask, bearing what we must bear? And in lines by turns dolorous and defiant, they answer: We watch, we remember, and we sing." --Tracy K. Smith "In these poems of turnpikes, water, and migraine light, filled with grief and life, the poet tells us it''s all right that ''we don''t love / living.''

In this magnificent debut, a poet arrives to us fully formed, and Tierney has found ways to transform the mundane into the mysterious, and the mysterious into the transcendent. Readers will be swept away by the rigors of syntax, the sparse and charged diction, and the voice of these worldly, humane, sophisticated poems." --Mark Wunderlich, Praise for Rise and Float "Rise and Float, which won the Jake Adam York Prize, pushes back against depression and grief with only the tools at a poet''s disposal: patience, insight and the beauty of a thought perfectly expressed." --Ron Charles, Washington Post''s Book World newsletter "Lyrical and arresting . . . Tierney''s Rise and Float , about forging ahead despite the burdens that weigh the spirit down, is perhaps the most honest representation of trying to survive in the current state of the world." --Rigoberto González, San Francisco Chronicle "Masterful . . .

It has been a long time since I''ve read a debut collection that stirred me as deeply as Rise and Float , and I highly anticipate more poems of beauty and truth from this poet." --Katya Buresh, Chicago Review of Books "Tierney''s poems have the shimmering quality of something matured and shaped by the sheer force of time" --James Ciano, Adroit Journal "Tierney''s finely wrought debut captures the electric movement of his mind . . . This powerful collection offers readers a probing, visual, tactile exploration of the past, while allowing space for tenderness and understanding." -- Publishers Weekly "Tierney shows that the lowest points of human experience also prompt us to view the world in a new light, implying that an unfamiliar but authentic vibrance may be an unintended aftereffect of anxiety, depression, loss, or suffering . . .
