- Kevin Prufer How wonderful, after so many theme-driven books of poetry, to read a real collection, a book in which every poem casts its own shadow. Jerry Harp is a poet of astonishing range, and the obsessions of Gatherings emerge quietly in poems through wistful, unsettling images, in lines that are tautly metrical or spun far across the page, as if to see what they might gather. - Janet McAdams About the Author Jerry Harp, co-winner of the 2004 Robert McGovern Publication Prize, grew up in Mt.
