"Timothy Gager is a genius of the quotidian, keenly observing the details of our lives and rendering them so that we can hear the deep pulse of our identities, of our pure being, within them" -Robert Olen Butler, Pulitzer Prize winning author "In his collection written in the midst of a pandemic. Timothy Gager managed to capture the chaos, the confusion, the despair, and the existential strangeness of those (of these) days." -Nick Flynn, American Poet, Memoirist and Playwright "Gager studies the crisp space between life's summation and the gathering of what harvest may wait for us as we work at a more genuine quality of being." -Afaa M. Weaver, Poet and Writer, winner of Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award and Fulbright Scholar
