“In 1995, poet Karl Tierney jumped from the Golden Gate Bridge after being rejected from a trial AIDS-treatment study. Now, 24 years later, we’re bringing the world the book he dreamed of publishing.” Sibling Rivalry Press.
“In reading “Have You Seen This Man?” I kept hearing a whisper; The human spirit will leap when it has gone missing. In the crack between taking issues head on and the interpretative meanings within Karl’s poetry, I became to know this whispering truth. I saw Karl’s story, my story, our story. The story of being human is to live a life where the pure heart of humanity unconditionally and enthusiastically bears witness to the alls of us. In a time when it seems the world has (again) forgotten this, we all need to meet Karl (ourselves) once again.”
– Hokis, Founder & Senior Editor of Headline Poetry, and former HIV community educator.
