Afaa M. Weaver “Gager studies the crisp space between life's summation and the gathering of what harvest may wait for us as we work at a more genuine quality of being.”
~ Afaa M. Weaver, City of Eternal Spring
“Worldly, witty, and often satirical, Gager’s poems also have a tender side, a feeling of loss and longing, a sense of thwarted hopes and dreams.”
~ Fred Marchant, Said, Not Said
“Gager writes through the lens of a damaged angel, someone who has seen forgiveness from all sides. The result is wondrously eloquent, giving us these beautiful, dangerous, arresting poems about what it means to be human.”
~ January Gill O'Neil, Rewilding
“Timothy Gager mines gems of truth from the plain soil of ordinary life.”
~ Charles Coe, Memento Mori
“His eye for the telling detail remains, but his work has become more expansive, more timely, and less hard-bitten. This is a mature poet showing us exactly what he’s got: and it’s good.”
~ Rusty Barnes, The Last Danger
“Gager’s poems that fight for truth and justice and love―whether we’re ready for them yet, or not.”
~ Shaindel Beers, Secure Your Own Mask
