Advance Praise for Caught by the Wind:
“With this collection of poems, Gargiulo declares his firm commitment to discerning and forging links between time and emotion, space and thought, . . . nature and imagination. In his experienced hands, rhythms and fragments of nature acquire a new dynamic ebb and flow. A maple leaf turns into a Zen koan, the winter rain into a friend, eagles and butterflies into silent newsbearers. Such discourse between the external reality and the inner world has a scintillating and soul-sustaining quality. Bravo!”
—SALMAN AKHTAR, MD, Psychoanalyst, poet and author, most recently of Symptoms of Belonging (2018).
“Caught by the Wind comes from a poet who has traversed many realms. He lives in a world of perceptions and frequencies we are oblivious to in our daily lives. He sees the fall of lilacs, hears the wind and finds solace. Losses have made him deeply aware of life’s transience but also of his love of the natural world. Indeed, he finds his loved ones there: Caught by the wind/we are leafing/together/while day sounds/hold us/aimlessly. Now is a time when such poems are needed.”
—CECELE ALLEN KRAUS, MSW, psychoanalyst, poet & author of Harmonica
“Gerald J. Gargiulo is a gifted poet, with a poet’s soul. He also is a gifted psychoanalyst, and the sensitivity and responsiveness and vision that both disciplines require are highly developed and exquisitely present in this lovely collection. Gargiulo is resonant with nature. Every leaf, drop of rain, and butterfly drifting by catches his eye, are honored in his poems. His sensibility is one that delights in the world, celebrates and mourns, yearns for and appreciates. His poems are a tribute to lived reality, to those he loves and has loved.”
—MERLE MOLOFSKY, MA, psychoanalyst,poet, and author of Necessary Voices
“These are exquisite, delicate works, gems, that explore the ineffable being of things, feelings inherent in moments of reflection experiencing natural processes—the seasons and their changes, the earth and sea and their emanations, trees and flowers, waves, the air we breathe. Gargiulo offers sensory/perceptual images that evoke the power and mystery of inner states of being – yearning, loss, hope, and the inevitable presence of death, inseparable from life.”
—LEE JENKINS, PhD, psychoanalyst,
