Gerard Malanga - Cool & Other Poems

Poetry; 138 pages. Paperback.
6.75" x 9.5". ISBN 978-1-937073-79-4. $14.00.


This powerful collection of poems in free verse probes the quotidian details of
Malanga’s life as he wrestles to recall it through dreams and memory. Comprised
of five sections (Autobiographies, The Cats in My Life, “The Lives They Lived,”
Stories, and “The ray of the divine …”), the book presents a tumultuous search
for self in one’s mental cache and questions its actuality with bittersweet, raw
emotion. By turns wry and achingly sincere, the poems have the feel and sequence
of a dream—jagged, taking unexpected turns, at times ambiguous. They becry an
existential crisis borne of isolation and loss.
