All that Jazz by Gerry Boland.

All that Jazz brims with insight, empathy and wry humour. In his third poetry collection Gerry Boland movingly maps the territory of love found, shared and lost, while exploring what gives life meaning. These finely-crafted poem reverberate.
-Jane Clarke

These poems are beautiful; slender narratives and storylines that are easy to read and they hold our attention with a kind of wisdom. Their clarity rises from the sparse line, and a lack of clutter. Each poem is pared down-to a clean elemental
simplicity. And a sense of equanimity runs through the entire collection and makes reading them an uplifting experience
-Michael Harding

Bright and lively, Gerry Boland's poems carry a particular and effecting fidelity to the rhythms of the human heart.
- Paul Perry


All that Jazz is intimate, natural, sometimes dark and, often light. Reading these new poems feels like being invited to Gerry's table as he sifts through relationships and comes out the other side. Mingling rural with urban, this collection is delicate, personal and resilient. Thoroughly enjoyable, one to
read cover-to-cover and then over again.
