| Timothy Gager |
I will talk with Gager about his long and prolific career and his new book of verse -- Chief Jay Strongbow is Real (Big Table Books) See it live at 5PM at http://scatvsomerville.org
Timothy Gager's latest book, Chief Jay Strongbow is Real, is evidence of a new stage for the veteran poet and novelist. Before this book, Gager safely relied on his poetic insight into the struggle we all face, and his powerful phraseology; in this one, he stretches out into the worlds of politics and personality. His eye for the telling detail remains, but his work has become more expansive, more timely, and less hard-bitten. This is a mature poet showing us exactly what he's got: and it's good.
