O My Charmer,
available from Dancing Girl Press.
Why does the flame of attraction frizzle?
O My Charmer traces anger, guilt, grief, and bewilderment once love falls apart.
What others are saying:
These poems leave us lifted by the clarity, courage, and style of this poet’s unflinching examination.
How do we heal our own brokenness? In the absence of answers, Gekker makes art.
“Can I tell you something you may not want to hear?” asks one poem. The answer is most definitely “yes.”
— Linda Blaskey
