I Keep His Ashes…

in a Tacky Vase: The Art of Poetry and Palettes

“Kimberly Gerry Tucker’s I Keep His Ashes in a Tacky Vase: The Art of Poetry and Palettes” is a powerful collection that transcends the boundaries of traditional poetry. In this mellifluent journey, Kimberly Gerry Tucker invites readers to explore the intricacies of existence and the inexorable forces that shape our lives. The poems within this volume traverse a wide spectrum of themes, from love and loss to the poignant moments of coming of age. Kim’s voice blends whimsy and raw emotion, drawing readers into her world with each carefully crafted stanza.

But this collection is more than words on a page. It’s an immersive experience—a trip through the ‘gyri’ and ‘sulci’ of the mind, those intricate folds where thoughts and memories intertwine. Here, metathinking—the act of thinking about thinking—takes center stage, revealing the resilience that blooms even in the face of life’s inevitable challenges.

And then there’s the visual feast. Kim’s unique artwork, interspersed throughout, adds layers of meaning and depth. Each poem and unique artwork becomes an entrance into a limbic world, where emotions pulse and connections spark. It’s a place where small talk is replaced by profound introspection, where the ordinary becomes extraordinary.

So open this book, let the words and images wash over you, and discover the artistry of Kimberly Gerry Tucker—a poet who defies convention and invites us to see the world anew.
