Gerry Yelle in his chapbook No Place Where I’d Rather Be is a chronicler of the impossible as commonplace and of the absurd as everyday occurrence. The architecture of these poems may seem off-putting (it is) but it’s our normal taken-for-granted landscape. This is the work of a pure fabulist where “places hide in the folds of people’s garments” and where love is “a battlefield…when you see all the broken hummingbird moths and butterflies strewn back of the audience.” Yelle’s language may appear matter-of-fact but the effect is stunning. Reader, you will savor this book!
