About me:
Hernandez is one of the finest and most exciting voices from the new generation of latino writers! -Bloomsbury Review, Ray Gonzalez
Tim sidles up close, whispers in our ears the soft beauties of a moistened spirit, and he won’t give us the maintenance lie...there’s the danger of shun and shutter, there’s the risk of touching a burn. -Victor Martinez, National Book Award Winner for "Parrot in the Oven"
Hernandez is a poet of obvious and quickly realized skills...his images are brilliant, sharp, and concise, his language spare yet rich. Poetry of the here and now, BROWN LOTUS, is the kind of task that should have been undertaken long ago! -Amiri Baraka, poet & playwright
Hernandez's poems are fierce, sexy, achingly alive, they beg to be read out loud. -Curve Magazine
Hernandez is a writer on the brink of international reknown..."find the God within you" we hear in his words and in his silences...it's only in the hands of time that the nation will listen for Hernandez as a soothing and imperative guide. -Annie Lanzillotto, Bronx performance artist & writer
Skin Tax is poetry not for delicate sensibilities, unafraid, it dares to stand out and speak of subjects commonly eschewed by other poets. -Midwest Book Review
I thought you and your people might want to know that they can hear tracks from my latest project wat ahm on (ep) down below or on my page and download the entire album for $2 at CD Baby! JUST CLICK HERE: .... The wat ahm on (ep) sets the poetry from my book what i'm on (2009 University of Arizona Press) to a hip-hop, industrial score inspired by Saul Williams, Anne Waldman, Anne Sexton, Steven Jesse Bernstein and composed by multi-instrumentalist/producer Endofnight and I. It's a poetry record that‘s meant to be bumped! I hope y'all dig it!
I will be there on the 11th...:) Hey bro, I miss you, I'mma be in the NO' tomorrow evening, maybe we can hit up borders or somethin, k :) let me know I love you deeply!!!
I've seen you perform/read twice now, both times amazing. Once at the In The Grove -Andres Montoya and then at The Inner Ear. Thanks for putting out those mind blowing words of yours.

Invite me to dinner in December...or I will be forced to show up on y'all's doorstep with my sad face and my hands formed as a cup begging for your kindness. whatever would the neighbors think? :)
