“For poetry that is both sensual and spiritual, turn to G. Gazelka‘s new work. Poetry is a healing art in Gazelka’s hands. Out of brokenness comes a new being, who sings the universe to us, through us, in a personal voice. This work is a lyrical treasure!”
–Marilyn Kallet, author of 19 books, including Even When We Sleep, poetry from Black Widow Press.

 

In Tender One, G. Gazelka lyrically explores paradoxes of strength and vulnerability to advocate for genuine connection within the myths and fissures of a tumultuous world. Gazelka implores the reader to “rest by my fire in your dark night,” and a discerning reader will welcome the light of these new poems. 

–Jonathan Fink, author of Barbarossa and The Crossing

Tender One opens with a longing for a mythological childhood and an innocence like sibling relations. This longing is paradoxically both awakened and barred by trauma symbolized by being buried. Desirous of the voice that compelled them from the grave, these often personal poems take a spiritual journey through crisis to wholeness and a place of intimacy. Offered in this chapbook are their meditations and truths learned along the way.

G. Gazelka has an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville and is English faculty at North Hennepin Community College in Minnesota. Tender One is their debut chapbook. In 2022, “Bathsheba” (included in this chapbook) and another of their poems received an honorable mention in the 37th Annual contests of the League of Minnesota Poets. They also write longer fiction.
