Blue Like the Heavens: New and Selected Poems

By Gary Gildner

"Aliveness is Gary Gildner's striking quality," Crystal McLean writes in the magazine New Letters, and thise selection of Gary Gildner's previously published poems, plus eighteen new poems, demonstrates the aptness of that perception. Accessible and eminently readable, the poems in Blue Like the Heavens also possess great emotional depth. Readers who complain about the obscurity of contemporary American poetry will delight in this book.

Blue Like the Heavens: New and Selected Poems

Gildner is awesome! Some of my favorites are "High Class Bananas" the question and answer poem. This is a must read for any poetry reader who enjoys American literature.
