About me:




HAPPY SPRING!



"The first few pages stunned me, and I never recovered.  I haven't read a book in a long time that has hit me so hard - a book so fierce, so poetic, so wise, so heartbreaking.  It exposes our time in a way which will embarrass us all before our grandchildren." -Howard Zinn, writing about Tommy Trantino's Lock the Lock (1973)

"Tommy Trantino found himself in prison.  Just who he was: a poet, writer and artist.  Or pure and simple: Tommy Trantino was a liberated human being." -Irving Stettner, editor of Stroker

"I hear Trantino calling to the soul of the world, in his own language, by his own hand.  Who can change the world?  The entire world?  Just one person in one prison cell, Thomas Trantino... a caller of the Great Call." - Allen Ginsberg

"But now, by some inexplicable mystery, Tommy Trantino has given us the works - from A to TZZIT.  He has put it all in one book replete with maniacal illustrations as a handbook to Eternity." - Henry Miller

    I must have incredible luck, finding your book in the library.

    4th Floor. Non-fiction.

    I wouldn't even have been there on a normal day.

    Tom,
    Get with this: I know you remember how the works work. A change is in the works. Dig it. It works if you work it --
    but you really gotta work it!

    Your ol' pal,
    Tom

    T.,
    Gioia and I enjoyed listening to the tunes you posted. I've also been meaning to tell you that the drawing-poem on your blog is extremely beautiful. I love the details, and the drawing evokes a lot of soul. It tells a powerful story.
    best wishes from your pal,
    Ev

    The Angel is one of the best pieces of text in a very long time. Brutal, Honest, Alive.

    I was turned onto you by Irv Stettner in Stroker. The brutal realism of your writing style is a major inspiration. I sent a copy of Stroker of 35 to Henry Rollins in the hopes he will talk about you and your life and let more people know about you.
