"Ten Days of Blue Sky" opens the screen door to feel the breeze off an immense ocean of possibilities. Not stopping to pause, Bill Gleeson writes quickly and automatically drawing forth unconscious thoughts in an attempt to portray the underlying optimism that drives the human condition. Written start to finish in just ten days, the fifty-eight poems of this collection are an eclectic mix of free association and flowing dream imagery that portray an emerging versatile writer with the unique ability to leap backward and forward in the same breath, to use his unique voice to shed light on a world in desperate need of hope. What starts out as a literary experiment ends as a must have for readers of both contemporary and uniquely American poetry.
