The warmth of heavy cover overshadows me
The moonless dark shines on my eyelids

I have just discovered Gary. He is very, very good. If he's not published he should be.
I have read much of your work, sir.
and I have enjoyed so much indeed,
with special admiration, for the poems,
A Face In The Crowd and I'm Dying In My Dreams.
You have, in these pieces, and others that I read,
a great capacity, to combine
depth, brilliance and integrity.
Thank you for the warmed pleasure, I was able to walk away with.
Gary, I love your poems! they're dark, but it's the kind of dark that makes a person think about themself- it's all very good.
