Dennis J. Gayle
'Dennis J. Gayle offers a quiet, meditative lyricism that ranges across experienced settings in multiple countries, continents, cultures, states of mind and moods, as well as the stages of human life. He uses words precisely, in a way that may be reminiscent of a matador managing his cape and sword, with his bull as well as bullring audience in mind. But this poet’s goal is to invite the focused contemplation of human joys and sorrows, mutability and precarity, from varied perspectives - sometimes, in lines that cannot readily be forgotten.'
