Flashlight: New and Selected Poems

Gayl Teller's poetic eye works like a flashlight illuminating wider and wider swaths of reality and human interconnectedness. From the basketball courts in the Bronx beach club, where she met her husband, to her Hofstra University students, the people she befriends on her travels, like the tour guide in Prague, from her thoughts at her granddaughter's Bat Mitzvah, to her present Plainview community with its Sunday Y poets, dancers, mah jongg players, her language opens out with essential truths of the human condition, how despite vast cultural, ethnic, and individual differences, we share common needs, frailties, struggles, and dreams. Her flashlight embraces our common human family.
