"I'm inspired by many things, but especially poems that speak to that part of your brain that we usually can't access; poems that are transcendental. I'm partial to stories that feature characters who find themselves in situations which are foreign to them. I enjoy that type of tension. I like trying to make sense of things along with them."
Timothy Gager is co-editor of the anthology Out of the Blue Writers Unite, and has authored four other books. He is the host of the Dire Literary Series, which has had a 5-year run. He also co-founded the Somerville News Writer's Festival.

"Works that move me are well-written realistic portrayals of struggles and events that happen and, in reality, are close to NOT happening. A piece needs to speak to me; make me think; react; get up and leave the house."

“Recently I’ve begun to pay more attention to my process of writing, how my thoughts, experiences, and emotions become poetry. I’m finding that there are things within that I had forgotten about, but they are now finding a voice, reaching the surface. Writing is most powerful when it can provoke similar reactions from others.”
