If but My Gaze Could Heal

Colin Greer knows a lot about a lot. His rich life as an educator and author/playwright, imersed in the social and political justice trenches, is reflected in his latest poetry book alongside his wordily wisdom. The author muses on the human condition through verse, taking the lucky reader through the ordinary, the personal, the sublime, and tragic alike. IF BUT MY GAZE COULD HEAL''s 150 poems are thoughtfully broken into five thematic chapters: With or Without Which, Mischief and Melancholy, Stick out your Tongue, Phew!, and What is Hidden and Hidden From.The Reverend Billy Talen, founder of the radical performance group Church of Stop Shopping exclaimed, "reading Gaze made my hair change colour."
