One Room with View: Profane and Sacred Poems

One Room with View is a compilation of poems, short essays and musings of G.H. Geary over a 30 year period. When her therapist said to her “You’re not crazy, you’re a poet” and her friend said “Write your distractions!” she had an epiphany – her delusions, ironies and inconsistencies might be the stuff of art. So with a lot of note-taking, lineation and flagellation of commas and function words, she began to work. The writer is not her best editor. Here it is, the good, the bad and the ugly.
