Bøker av Gary Beaumier

Gary Beaumier's poems present crystal clear but novel new images - images that are so refined and honed they feel like long-absent and newly discovered friends - instantly recognizable and welcomed with amazement and love. The poems are a beautiful, soft flow of line and language emerging like a rill discovered in the obscurity of some literary, linguistic woodland. This is deeply compassionate and emotional poetry that never-the-less eschews sentimentality. - Henry Stanton, Publisher, Uncollected Press The poet manages to bare his soul in the perfect distillation of words - this is the work of Gary Beaumier. Raw, heartfelt, and aching with all the messiness and longing of life. - Mary Boyle, Managing Editor of Ozaukee Living Local In these poems present, past, and even future coexist, death and life two sides of a coin. Beaumier deftly conjures--and honors--memory as a landscape where endless discovery beckons, where sanctuary may be found. - Virginia Small, Poet & Author ofGreat Gardens of the Berkshires

Gary Beaumier's From My Family to Yours mixes the individual human experience with universal themes and striking imagery, smoothly juxtaposing the personal and the historical. Reality lives side by side with with the magical in many of these poems--a harmonious coexistence for the most part, but sometimes a shock to the characters or the readers who are both asked to question whether the surreal might not be the truer reality after all.
