Mostly set in the northwest Gallagher captures the ideals and characteristics of most northwest residents. Her stories reflect the mindset of this part of the country.

She is the best.             Portable Kisses1 review Tess Gallagher Bloodaxe Books, 1997 Portable Kisses This is a marvelous collection of contemporary love poetry. In tone and style it is very reminiscent of Pablo Neruda's 21 Love Poems. The poems not only treat romantic love in its myriad varieties but also capture the female passion and perspecitve in love. I have long adored the book. Indeed, it was the first collection of poems that brought poetry to life for me. In particular, "Your Hands ...             Tell It All1 review Raymond Carver, Tess Gallagher LeConte, 2005 A Must Have A must have for any serious Carver fan or scholar.

Largely underrecognized, Moon Crossing Bridge has yet to receive its full due as one of the most deeply thoughtful and passionate poetic works on the subject of loss to emerge in recent memory. Gallagher has allowed the ...             Amplitude: New and Selected Poems4 reviews Tess Gallagher Graywolf Press, 1988 Swept Away! She has a voice I've never heard before that I've needed to hear for a long, long time. There is unflinching lucidity here and honesty. "Each Bird Walking" takes no prioners. "The Hug" is. "If Poetry Were Not a Morality" is my memory too. The Fireman from Brooklyn glitters with hard truth             A New Path to the Waterfall7 reviews Raymond Carver Atlantic Monthly Press, 1994 The last poems . . . This was Raymond Carver's 11th and apparently last book of poems, published after his death by his wife Tess Gallagher, who writes a long, thoughtful introduction describing Carver's last months before dying of cancer at age 50. Unlike his previous collection, "Where Water Comes Together With Other Water," this book has a number of poems that are more dream-like and surreal, the references not ...             The Lover of Horses (The Graywolf Short Fiction Series)1 review Tess Gallagher Graywolf Press, 1992 Powerful, elegant, simple, insightful Gallagher's The Lover of Horses is an honest, yet graceful portrait of what makes us who we are. The title story shows the connection between human beings in a very powerful way. In my opinion this is the most well-written story in the text, demonstrative of Gallagher's immense talent in writing stories that are powerful because of their spareness. "Recourse" demonstrates the importance of ...             Dear Ghosts,: Poems4 reviews Tess Gallagher Graywolf Press, 2006 The Best of American Poetry You can do nothing better for yourself than to read Dear Ghosts,.

Superior word craft and imagery keep coming. Tess Gallagher is a blessing. Readers who have experienced a rich essential quality of living will find the resonate voice of an ageless girl underneath powerfully assembled words. This collection was handed to me by a stranger in a coffee shop in Tacoma, Washington, who said only, "here, have a book of poetry."

Some of them are mysterious, some of them very funny, some are wise and humane, and others simply offer little insights into a way of life rapidly vanishing.
