Praise for The Sweetest & the Meanest...

"Tom Kimmel is a treasure. Songman, rocker, poet, seeker, troubadour... always scratching away for the greater truths like a miner for gold. In these poems, you will recognize and celebrate your own humanity " warts and all" and know it's okay to be a human being. Yeah!"

- Marshall Chapman


"Tom does with poems what Eudora Welty did with short stories . . . sweet (but unsentimental), understated little slices of actual human life as experienced here in the south, or anywhere, for that matter. He puts you so close to those beauty/truth/goodness moments of the heart (the ones we've all known but defy description), that you're suddenly in them before you realize it.Like Eudora, he speaks softly, sneaks up on you -- and then nails you. Wonderful stuff."

- Pierce Pettis


"Denise cried when she read MaMa's Table. I said, My goodness honey, it ain't that good, is it?"
