Tales of The Afterlife - Paperback

by Gary Beaumier (Author)

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
