Justin Milan writes: Gary Galsworth has had about ten lifetimes worth of adventures and misadventures. In this collection he writes frankly and with palpable feeling, utilizing direct, lucid poems as vehicles for his incredible experiences. Violence, romance, blood ties, death and Zen Buddhist insight and inspiration, Galsworth lays out his themes with equal parts grit and heart. Dr. Paul R. Fleischman wrote in praise of Gary Galsworth's first book Yes Yes: Galsworth's poems are filled with niches and variations--some lean and spartan observations of unadorned nature that remind me of William Carlos Williams. Others spring out of the world of Zen--but with Galsworth's unique fingerprints. Still others are very different...long, self-revealing narratives about childhood and family--poems that are moving and express a completely unique life. Here is a collection of poems that span so many years and give the book the power of a lifetime.
