About the Book

The poems in this collection of Fred Gerhard's work range considerably: from Victorian rooms to the Pennsylvania and New England landscapes he knows intimately; from the psychology of inner experience to the dance of interpersonal relationships; from the noise of the trains that run through all of our lives (and occasionally crash into walls) to the quiet of the "dark grape taste of twilight." Likewise, Gerhard's diverse poetic techniques run the gamut from lucid and conversational free verse to skillful and musical rhyme. Throughout, he crafts memorable lines and indelible images, giving (as he puts it in his tribute to Edgar Allan Poe) "consonant to forlorn sound"-and to the sound of joy.

About the Author :
Fred Gerhard is one of the founders of the New Dawn Writers' Group in Ashburnham where he leads monthly poetry workshops, and helps host open mic nights. For many years he ran a poetry therapy group at Community Healthlink in Worcester, MA. He currently runs a Facebook group to help bring together and support local poets and authors. He is a member of the Worcester County Poetry Association, the Monadnock Writers' Group, and the New England Poetry Club, and thrives on taking part in readings and getting to know other poets.

Review :
"In Fred's poetry, there is a magical sense of loss, and light-an odd combo, indeed, but there nonetheless-that envelops the reader in something mystical. I am ever-grateful that he, in many ways, opened the world of poetry to me. I hope you enjoy walking his halls as much as I do."-Kirk Lawrence-Howard, BespokeVocals.com "The poems in this collection are warm and inviting. The journey from Pinewoods to Returning Home leaves the reader warm-hearted. You don't want to simply drift to them; you want to immerse yourself in every word on every page. With a gentle hand, the poems leave the reader feeling thoughtful and spirited-an enchanting read."-Melissa Dorval, author of the novel When You Lose Control "One can easily discover bliss in the imaginative and playful ways Gerhard uses language. But behind his words is the steady pulse of a heart that feels every moment of joy in life, from the magic of the mundane dandelion to the ways of seeing God. We are the lucky ones who get to experience his many loves through his poems."--Kevin Scott Hall, songwriter and author of A Quarter Inch From My Heart and Off the Charts!
