Is anything common? Katherine Gekker asks in her debut collection, In Search of Warm Breathing Things. The answer, in these richly detailed poems, is no. Gekker is a keen observer, able to unlock the beauty hidden in the ordinary. An iridescent grackle becomes a symbol of hope, collarbones shimmer like wings. Weaving images of the natural world with glimpses of a struggling marriage, Gekker portrays life in all its emotional complexity. Two bees are fighting or courting-- I can't tell which, she writes in To Cast a Shadow Again. Yet there are moments of joy, the promise of transformation. My shift billows, diaphanous.... I can seduce anyone tonight beneath fronds slicing like blades.
