About Dear Gravity:
"In Dear Gravity, painful apprehension and radiant appreciation create a rich counterpoint of life's opposites, and the scales balance, 'making you feel lucky to be anywhere,' and lucky, as the reader, to have the deep pleasure of such wise and delightful company."
"Gregory Djanikian has always been a poet of amazed appreciation, a man bedazzled by life’s bounty while acutely sensitive to its dangers, acutely aware of how love and humor help us endure life’s beguiling deluge, its ‘beautiful wreckage deepening.’ In Dear Gravity all this comes across with the sweet generosity that makes Djanikian such an amiable and companionable poet."
