Gerry LaFemina

Gerry LaFemina’s latest book of poems is Little Heretic. He divides his time between Maryland and New York and directs the Center for Creative Writing at Frostburg State University. He admits to having too many books, too many records, and too many miles on the odometer.

Poetry

An Image Of Godliness

Like the Turin shroud with / its image of godliness, / her yoga mat holds / the tattoo of her body, each pose / immortalized by a particular / indentation, a stain of perspiration.

Poetry

Daybreak

Light like the moment after the baton tap & before the first symphonic note. / Light of the possible, light of the improbable. / Light not like the way she says the syllables of my name.
