Books by Gary Margolis

Gary Margolis's first book of poems is accomplished in its craftsmanship. For many years he has been publishing in magazines and, in this initial gathering of his work, he presents a sustained, mature poetic voice. This is a collection of his best poems and a carefully considered whole, a book that is consistently lyrical and moving.

These are poems of the present, of commercials and human interest stories, of the drive-in windows that make banks and bedrooms of our cars. Describing the world he has seen and loved as well as how that world sometimes threatens itself, Gary Margolis speaks with caring humor and seriousness of the brokenness and beauty of America's present.
