About the Book
One Room with View is a compilation of poems, short essays and musings of G.H. Geary over a 30 year period. When her therapist said to her “You’re not crazy, you’re a poet” and her friend said “Write your distractions!” she had an epiphany – her delusions, ironies and inconsistencies might be the stuff of art. So with a lot of note-taking, lineation and flagellation of commas and function words, she began to work. The writer is not her best editor. Here it is, the good, the bad and the ugly.
About the Author
Russell Geary was a dreamer who accomplished a
great deal in his brief life. The middle of 5 children,
he was often left to his own devices, and many
devices they were. He was a self-taught musician,
composer and painter, as well as a novelist who wove
utopian ideals, magic, mysticism and humor into
three novels, Erika, Lucidia and sequel.
Russell graduated with honors from Northwestern
University with a major in comparative literature.
He was an ardent student of Tibetan Buddhism.
His life was cut short by depression in 2002, at the
age of 25.
