The Years Distilled ReviewThe Years Distilled is a powerful journey across years of raw emotion and reflections of what was and what could have been. The works jump from gripping emotional wailing that drag you into the moment to subtle windows into other people's lives from an outsider's viewpoint. I found the author was at his strongest when his poems turned more reflective but that does not diminish the impact of the more visceral works. Fans of poetry and spoken word would be well served by a cup of coffee and an evening spent with this book.The Years Distilled OverviewThe Years Distilled are the verses from twnety years of spoken word and performance poetry on stages and in coffee houses around the United States. While the collection only represents a small fraction of the writing done over two decades (1990-2010) it is an almost complete collection of the pieces performed. The ranting and rambling contained within this book is often juvenile, sometimes petty, and commonly complaining; however all the works are all born of passion.The people and places that inspired the words between these covers are too numerous to mention individually, but they are all held very dear. It is because these souls, times, and locations have touched so deeply that a permanent mark was left. These memories are now yours to share, for what they're worth.These are all very different works of varied style and subject matter, plucked at random from a collection of writing. They are in no order whatsoever. What is the common thread? Everyone one of them was written to be performed, and with only two exceptions, they all have been."A glimpse into the inner world of the young American, with all the messy glories and hideous traumas of youth exposed. Dennis Sharpe writes with an ear like Eminem's, but more importantly, with a heart like Paul Westerberg's, damaged yet still-beating."-Erin Keane, Author of 'Death Defying Acts', and 'The Gravity Soundtrack'

(un) SPOKEN ReviewDennis Sharpe writes well. Also the sun is bright. Now you know two obvious facts. Go buy his book. Seriously. If you are looking for something a little longer, may I suggest The Years Distilled by the same author. Let Fantasy take a backseat and notice how awesome / maddening / thought-provoking the real world can be and read this book.(un) SPOKEN OverviewContained in the pages of this small printed work are unapologetic texts both broad and specific in scope, telling in three parts the evolution of their architect. They range from very intimate and personal, to universal. The words presented here are intended to allow glimpses into the past and present of one man's human experience. Take from them what you will." '(un) SPOKEN' mines late night diners, diaper strewn alleys, and the headaches of hangover mornings for moments of beauty and meaning. These poems have the rough feel of music on vinyl. But ultimately, they are poems of hope, of counting up what was lost and gained, and deciding the things to plow under so that better seed might be sown."-Britton Shurley, Winner of the 2010 Kentucky Arts Council Emerging Artist Award

(un) SPOKEN Review"(un)spoken" is a great companion to Sharpe's "The Years Distilled: Verses." Though a shorter piece of work, the author's style is unbroken and consistent. Most of the pieces in this collection are easy to relate to, and I felt as if many of the lines were my own thoughts as I read them. I've read the Kindle version twice now, and I can't wait to get the paperback so I can dog-ear my favorite pieces for easier reference..."Coordinating Luggage," "In Order of Loss," "Dear Doctor," "What I Want," and the two "Epiphany" pieces are definitely getting re-read and dog-eared.(un) SPOKEN OverviewContained in the pages of this small printed work are unapologetic texts both broad and specific in scope, telling in three parts the evolution of their architect.
