Fairy Tale
by Gabrielle Langley The poetic imagery is stunning. This poet dances on flames.--Gregory “Goyo” Candela, author of Shallow-Rooted Heart Readers "dance barefoot over the points of stars," find that "a good séance is the art of illusion," and learn how "shades of blue and violet turn the dark a deeper black." Fairy Tale is a sunrise after a moonless night, and Langley is its faithful alchemist, whispering light through every page.--Stacy Nigliazzo, poetry editor of PULSE: Voices from the Heart of Medicine Gabrielle Langley’s new volume of poetry, Fairy Tale, is an invitation to dance in a Time ballroom gone magical...Her gift is a relentless voice of inquiry—into the burning light of love, death, and disruption. She awakens us and never lets us go, even after the last page.--John Milkereit, author of A Place Comfortable With Fire Compelling, utterly human, and remarkably honest, Fairy Tale investigates the uncertain edges of our unique emotional landscapes.--John Sibley Williams, editor of The Inflectionist Review Click here to purchase Fairy Tale |
Azaleas on Fire
by Gabrielle Langley
These poems dance with a wild grace, a ferocity on the page that is both "field of lilies/and swords." Gabrielle Langley’s Azaleas on Fire is a collection needed in our historical moment, a prophetic tango to be reckoned with.--Robin Davidson, Houston Poet Laureate, 2015-2017, author of Luminous Other
In reading Azaleas on Fire, I am reminded that, in times of turmoil all we want to hear is a voice that reassures us that the world will, eventually, be set right again. In these poems, this is precisely what we get. We mourn and we love; we hope and we despair. But regardless of the loss we encounter in these pages, we keep finding doses of courage and linguistic beauty at every turn. This is what Langley's poems do: they make us "feel the birth of everything.'" Reading her poetry is like "lighting a candle against the dark."--Octavio Quintanilla, San Antonio Poet Laureate, 2018-2020, author of If I Go Missing
Though her poems are technically complex and layered, Langley’s execution feels effortless with no obscurities. Her lines are lean, yet packed with exotic, sensual imagery, and poetic moments that whisper Old World settings and personal history. Azaleas on Fire is fabric in motion, perfumed with dance and midnight. --Chris Wise, author of Colliding with Orion
Azaleas on Fire is a bouquet of elegant, sensual, and surprising poems that are so alive you’ll believe the flower names on the pages are emitting a fragrance....Rarely does a first book burn with such emotional power and craft... truly, it is "a flower hidden in the ashes.” --Carolyn Dahl, author of The Painted Door
