When Voices Detach Themselves

gary’s style is an engaging cross between the spontaneity of artistic improvisation and a steady flow of interior monologue. His often fragmented word-play, draws us inescapably into his haunted world. His is singular voice that pulls us up by the heartstrings as he scrutinizes his life, his loves, and the ragged edges of longing. He is exquisitely open in his explorations of grief and vulnerability, facing the discordant notes head on. I think what impressed me most about gary’s writing is a virtuosity refreshingly unpretentious and honest. Recommended.

Gary Lundy is an important poet that nobody (or far too few) people know about. Eyes can change into big-horn sheepeven as they are photographed, although Lundy writes "I apologize for loading you down with images." We should happily bend our backs to accept that burden. The collection is much too short at twenty-eight pages; it makes us hungry.
