Bøger af Gary Rainford

Artists inspire artists, and "Liner Notes"-64 ekphrastic poems describing 64 musicians as artists making music-exemplifies this rich, evocative tradition.

Salty Liquor is Rainford's first full-length collection of poems. Gary Rainford lives on Swans Island in Maine year-round with his wife and daughter. His poetry, shaped by tides and saltwater, is published in a wide range of literary magazines and university journals, including North Dakota Quarterly, Words and Images, Aurorean, Omphalos, Kindred, and Blast Furnace. Rainford was a featured poet on the Maine Poetry Express, at the Roundup Writer's Zine, Artist-in-Residence in Acadia National Park, and received Topsham Public Library's Joy of the Pen 2014 Poetry Honorable Mention.

The love and loss of living with Dementia.Gary Rainford's Adrift is for all of us-for those who've suffered family or friends through Alzheimer's, for those who fear it, for those who will become its victims. It's for all of us, our inevitable end, however it comes, the human condition. A fine poet's words of a terrible disease, the pathos of a son caring for his dying mother, consolable as words can be, humor and horror, the reason for words. "Mom; you've given me poetry, / Stories, and reasons to // Dream" and now he has given us poetry and stories of her last days. This is a love story. Sharon Doubiago, recipient of the Oregon Book Award for Poetry
