What People are Saying About The Orion Zone:

“The Orion Zone is an extensively researched study of archaeological evidence, historical accounts, and the oral traditions of the Hopi peoples of the American Southwest. Readers interested in astro-archaeology or in pre-Columbian America will find a great deal of thought-provoking material here, along with citations for further study.” --Mysteries Magazine

“From the incredible adobe village complexes of Chaco Canyon and Mesa Verde National Park to the enigmatic symbols carved into desert rocks, the evidence David compiles is both compelling and convincing. Gary David's The Orion Zone is an extremely important book that winds through Anasazi lands like the tracks of a snake, towards a destination somewhere above the horizon where Orion walks.” --Rick M. Gned, Sub Rosa

“The correlation Mr. David makes between the Hopi and Egyptian 'sky view' imost interesting.” --Robert Bauval, co-author of The Orion Mystery and The Message of the Sphinx

“. . . a classic in its own time.” --Philip Gardiner, author of Gnosis: the Secret of Solomon’s Temple Revealed

Thoughts On Eye of the Phoenix:

"Gary David's work is a treasure of enormous importance. He draws us deep into the mystery of Arizona and deeper still into the lost secrets of ancient cosmology. The truth behind the myths and symbols he's uncovering has the power to unify us, just as the Hopi prophesied." --William Henry, investigative mythologist, author, co-host of Whitley Strieber's "Dreamland" radio show

"This book makes a fascinating leap of conjecture that connects legends of the ancient Hopi to modern reports of UFO's. We would all do well to listen to our earliest ancestors, especially those in the U.S., for voices that, while faint, might very well have something of importance to tell us all today." -–Lloyd Pye, author of The Starchild Skull

About My Poetry:

>

"... it is my belief that an entire and powerful culture of unknown poets currently exists, whose work will ultimately need to be acclaimed if this nation is to continue to have a genuine, vital and useful poetry. Gary David is among those poets.” --Dale Jacobson

“...edgy and intelligent...” --Susan Smith Nash

“...crackles with energy...” --Keith Wilson

“...a strong western voice, steeped with local and mythical mystic streams of thought.” --Michael Crye

“...a visionary and ‘deep’ work...” --Karl Kopp, The Bloomsbury Review

“Gary David gives us this other way of seeing, from the fragments the intimations of the whole, which, as we should know, is the real name for the holy.” --Joe Napora, Small Press Review

“These poems require that you return to them, not to struggle with obscure meanings, but to enjoy the voice of Gary David singing to the world.” --Linda Hasselstrom

"I hear the anger, disgust, disillusionment all carried by the jazz riff line. This is clear, powerful writing! I think ole Walt is watching and quite happy that someone is kicking up the dust down here." --Judy Platz

"With beauty, humor, and grit, Gary David’s powerful poetry teaches us the lessons of American History that we have either never learned, or the History we’re trying so desperately to forget.” --Maggie Jaffe

"Gary David emerges as a poet of uncommon precision and breadth, and as one who believes wholeheartedly in the promise of poetry's deepest orders to consecrate the individual soul beyond a bio-blasted circumstance." --Ralph LaCharity

“...rooted in place and history, giving us a view of our past and its influence on the present. This work promises to establish him as a major voice in Western writing.” --Gary Holthaus

“...part of the ongoing white side of postcolonial writing, and very exciting." --Jim Cody

" I'm trying to think more complexly about the forms a documentary poetics might take in this early 21st-century day and age, and [Gary's] work helps cast light on some of these concerns... he really bears down on what it means to survive and exist in a specific social and cultural milieu." --Alan Gilbert

“Gary David expands the limits of a form he has been instrumental in creating--the verse documentary. At a time when poetry flounders, and historiography is at war over old grounds, his work may well be the light of the future.”--Edward Dorn

NOTE ON SLIDE SHOW

Looking at old photos of myself, I regretfully realize that very few of them actually capture, as they say, my essence. I appear mostly as a blur, a shadow, a cipher, a simulacrum. I guess it's my karma. And it's the very opposite of the documentary nature of the cult of personality. Anyway, this is MY life.

2 Samuel 14:14 "For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect any person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him."

Heroes

Those who never made it but deserved to.

About me:
CONFABULUM VITAE

My non-confessional stance notwithstanding, I countenance the following personae: erudite rube, regionalist by choice, provincial by penury, lone lobo, lowbrow Ohioan turned high desert rat, first of birth-family to graduate secondary school--sole member to matriculate (B.A. Kent State, M.A. University of Colorado), refugee from academia, ex-adjunct instructor, online editor/publisher/webmaster, poeta non grata, factotum ex libris, iconoclastic iconographer, rock art critic, Anasazi ruins rambler, mercenary musician, guitarist/vocalist barking amped blues for Buddha, journeyman in the Bardo profundo.

For over three decades I have worked as a wayward wordsmith. Volumes published: Eye of the Phoenix (divagations in the mirages of the Southwest), The Orion Zone (true stories of Hopi star cities), Tierra Zia (lines & petroglyphs from New Mexico), Divining the Eagle's Vision (lyric verse of the High Plains), A Log of Deadwood (postmodern gold rush epic), The Possibilities of Blue Sky (callow Dakota poems), several self-inflicted chapbooks.

My residences or sojourns have included: Boulder, Santa Fe, Rapid City, San Francisco, New Orleans, Lawrence (Kansas). During the past fourteen years I have lived with my wife, daughter, and two cats in decreasingly rural northern Arizona.
