“Aliveness is Gary Gildner’s striking quality,” Crystal McLean writes in the magazine <i>New Letters</i>, and thise selection of Gary Gildner’s previously published poems, plus eighteen new poems, demonstrates the aptness of that perception. Accessible and eminently readable, the poems in <i>Blue Like the Heavens</i> also possess great emotional depth. Readers who complain about the obscurity of contemporary American poetry will delight in this book.
