Palaces of the Night, Poems by Gerry Grubbs
The intimate tone of Gerry Grubbs’ Palaces of the Night, quiet though it is, also opens out into wider vistas, indeed into the universe itself.
Praise for Girls In Bright Dresses Dancing by Gerry Grubbs:
“Gerry Grubbs’ poems are of making and unmaking, of loss and recovery, of absence and presence, of all that abides and all that does not. They are open, honest, and direct, with a metaphoric power that takes us into the mysterious heart of things. Grubbs writes about family, about nature, about love. But his deepest subject is the ineffable, which casts its shadow upon his words, 'Leaving us wondering / What has been lost / And how its absence / Effects everything that follows.’”—Norman Finkelstein
“Grubbs’ poems expose the gossamer, ephemeral, intangible, and intolerable aspects of existence. Like exquisite delicacies, they melt with the heat of reading.”—Annie Pedret
