Description

Questing on journeys both physical and spiritual, the speakers of Gary Thompson's ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER find that the flow of time, and of place, are eternal. "Italians have a term of art for what happens on these pages, flitting among these winged words and feathers and talons of a life caught mid-flight in the quick silver of memory: pentimento, life rediscovered in all of its faded colors, rent promises and half-made dreams, layer upon layer upon layer, each carefully removed to reveal what the world took for lost. In Gary Thompson's meditations, the dawn morning of a past life throws the shadow of a lover's breast onto a bedroom wall in this one. And fear not, all the necessary ghosts walk through that room at one time or another: Keats, Hugo, Brower, Muir, Welty, Crawford, Carver, et.al. Somehow, Thompson manages to spring free the dusty wonder of our lives--for one more precious glimpse--before the noche obscura of our forgetting shuts that door forever."--Paul VanDevelder "William Carlos Williams touted the reading of poetry as life-sustaining non-news-an essential element of 'spiritual health.' As well as, 'spiritful wealth?' Because, if a poet is lucky--we're talking catch-the-next-plane-to-Vegas lucky--the poet encounters, once, maybe twice, in a lifetime a collection as exceptional as ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER, a book graced with that rare vision that lifts the poet-reader's own sensibilities, and thus work, in fresh directions. Moreover, this good fortune magnified to the power of ten, the non-poet's realized wealth accrued via the reading of these poems is sure to buoy the very life, as it has never before known such a monumental lift. Either way, poet or non-poet, pack, first and foremost, this book of Gary Thompson's vital and talismanic poetry. Then, I believe I'd recommend The Horseshoe, off the strip. Come onnnn, sevens! Mama (and Daddy!) needs a new pair of shoes!"--Paul Zarzyski
