Stone
Soup Poetry meets every Wednesday online from 7:00-9:00 PM via
Zoom. Stay tuned for updates on any future live gatherings. On November 13, we welcome Timothy Gager back to our virtual podium.
Timothy Gager is the author of 19 books of fiction and poetry. Of his new one, Almost Bluing for X-tra Whiteness, Charles Coe said, “Tim Gager can take a so-called 'ordinary moment' and peel it like an onion, revealing layers of meaning that seem both surprising and inevitable.” Pulitzer Prize winner writer Robert Olin Butler called Tim, “A genius of the quotidian, keenly observing the details of our lives and rendering them so that we can hear the deep pulse of our identities, of our pure being, within them.”
In a review of the book Cambridge Poet Populus Lo Galluccio noted, ” the poet takes on other themes, objects, even humor. It’s as if 'Blu-ing' were the poet’s ability to compensate for or distract from the underlying grief by looking at the world with some jauntiness and resilience. This is a marvelously composed collection that includes both the sacred and the profane. It’s about love, loss, mortality, addiction, recovery and survival and it’s both a good time read and enlightening literature about the state of our humanity.”
