NEW FROM FINISHING LINE PRESS: We Who Dream by Gwynn O’Gara

PREORDER NOW: https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/we-who-dream-by-gwynn-ogara/

We Who Dream celebrates love and sex, and looks to the medicine of the natural world to deal with grief and heartache. In O’Gara’s vision the landscapes of Northern California and Mexico become instruments of desire, and strong and giving women answer calls for justice. We Who Dreamtakes us on the journey of making new life, guided by the ancient ones who lead us through danger as we dream our future.

Gwynn O’Gara is a Northern California poet with roots in the natural world, Beat poetry, and her early years in Mexico. O’Gara found her voice performing in San Francisco’s North Beach, and her first book, Snake Woman Poems, was celebrated at City Lights Bookstore in 1983. Gwynn was honored to serve as Sonoma County Poet Laureate from 2010-2011. As a California Poet in the Schools, she explored the joys and mysteries of written and recited poetry with children, teens and adults. Published in Calyx, Paddlefish, and The Comstock Review, O’Gara’s work also appears in anthologies, including Beatitude Silver and Gold editions; Sisters Born, Sisters Found, and Pillow, Exploring the Heart of Eros. Her chapbooks include Fixer-Upper, Winter at Green Haven, and Sea Cradles. She makes her home under redwoods and fruit trees.

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR We Who Dream by Gwynn O’Gara

At once as “amorous as the dawn” with her “salty, sweet” breath, We Who Dream by Gwynn O’Gara carries the rhythms of love. From the poem “Love Crazed” in which the persona reveals, “you always were a fool about men” to “The Pharaoh’s Daughter,” who confesses, “my only weakness—love,” this is a wonderfully cohesive book of poetry delving into the excesses, joys, and dream-qualities of love and sex/ sex and love. In “The Tent Door Opens and Closes,” the poet offers, “the dark/ vine of a man washes me with pomegranate and aloe,” then leaves us in the dream, wanting yet another in “We Who Dream” with the lines, “Reborn in dream-water/ lovers cradle one another.”

We Who Dream transports us through an unconventional eroticism layered in esotericism but always fertile: “Egos/ entwined at our feet, I dream the first night.” The book is, indeed, a “home-run moon.”

–Nancy Dafoe, author of Innermost Sea, novella Naimah and Ajmal, and memoir Unstuck in Time.

The poems in We Who Dream strike so many deep chords—intimate, sexual, environmental, mythical, visionary. Gwynn O’Gara’s gift is the unexpected. There are lines that transport the reader to the threshold of the familiar, inspiring visions of what’s possible just beyond; others pirouette on that edge, opening to an utterly different reality. Mating harbor seals become sleeping beauties; a clam slowly unfolds into “secret, stranger, lover, moon.” Ultimately, these poems kindle a connection, take us to our human core where, like paper cranes, we are threaded each to each by miracles, by incantation, by dreams.

–Terry Ehret, author of Lucky Break and Night Sky Journey

💖 Valley Valentines Prompt 3 💖

Mona rubbed her eyes tiredly as she sealed the last card with a shiny heart sticker. She set the card down on the large pile she had accumulated and let out a relieved sigh. She had spent a considerable amount of time writing out letters to each recipient (letters the mod was too lazy to write) and spent and equally long amount of time selecting the perfect glittery envelope and sticker to put them in. Mona stood up and stretched out her cramped limbs before looking over the the pile of cards with a warm smile. She would spend tomorrow putting the cards in each persons mailbox since she was too embarrassed to give them the card in person. It had taken a lot of built up courage for Mona to be so sincere in her letters, but she knew her friends would enjoy them regardless. With that affirming thought, Mona walked towards her bedroom ready to fall into bed and pass out.
