Love is in the details. In the fingers finding a hand in the dark. In the stretch and curve of a spine. In the goose bumped shoulders and taste of the skin. Gabriel Gadfly's much anticipated second anthology is a vivid and tender tribute to the life cycle of love - the sex, the laughter, the pain, the sweetness, the fear, the vacancy. Filled with yearning, this arresting collection finds beauty in all that love has to offer, from the mundane to the abstract. With Ventricle, Atrium, Gabriel Gadfly explores love at all its junctures, through sickness and health, in good times and in bad, offering sharp and remarkably precise observations on the tiny, all-important details of love.

Sensual, Slow and Seductive: Gabriel Gadfly is a Tease
Jan 24 2012
By Ren Bishop
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Ventricle, Atrium is panty-dropping poetry at its finest. Gentle, fast and hard, Gabriel Gadfly seduces his readers by teasing them with the smallest, most intimate moments of relationships: a first kiss, a knowing look, a long goodbye. Page after page, he lays his words down softly, whispering sweet nothings and harsh realities of love as it lingers in our lives. Nothing is perfect, nothing is sacred; love both conquers and destroys in his second book, a sharp contrast to his debut book of war poetry, Bone Fragments. We are taken from the battlefield to the bedroom, from the fox hole to the rabbit hole of romance and heartbreak ("Fossils"), from agony to ecstasy ("Throb"). And just when we are begging for more in Ventricle, Atrium's last few pages, Gadfly leaves us breathless in a climax with his poem "Monochrome." Let this not be a one-time fling, Gabriel. My heart breaks and beats faster at the thought.
Thankfully, the wait is made more bearable with fresh content on his website, [...].

Good poetry
April 13 2013
By Aidan Hennebry

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm not a real poetry-head, so I couldn't tell you too much in comparison to other poets, but I really did enjoy this book. I found I finished it much too quickly, but it gave me a chance to go back and read it again (something I very rarely do). There are a few poems I love more than others, but that is expected, as it is art! Definitely a good read. Can't go wrong for 99 cents.

Emotional Roller Coaster
April 5 2013
By Andrea Farmer
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Another volume of honest and poignant poetry. He holds nothing back. The smallest details and mundane rituals have been celebrated as much as the first kiss or the first coupling. There is much here to cause fond memories to resurface. There is also much to cause fears to resurface. Read with caution because your emotions will be engaged.
