Abyss & Bridge
3: A Taos Press
2021
$25

In this radiant collection, difference provides a necessary bridge that returns us to ourselves and to each other and shows us how to move out into the world, then move back in with a new sense of belonging. The main thematic thread is, as one of the poems states: “searching for that common language/that connects to the wide sea/as much as the sea within.”

Snow Falling on Snow
Glass Lyre Press
2015
$16

“These candid and graceful poems form an intimate weave of inner and outer form. In five short lines, they support a multitude of realities: snow, cloud, applause, seed, friend, longing, sex, music, the dead…yet, how light they are! In them, earth-nature and human-nature see eye to eye, heart to heart. These are poems to be received into the body, like breath.” —Anne Valley-Fox

Cover and inside ink drawings by John Brandi.

Water Shed: Aikido Tanka
Tres Chicas Books
2004
$12

"This new collection showcases the poet's parallel practices of the martial art of Aikido and the writing of poetry. Gregorio states in her introduction that the two forms of art have often 'jostled for attention,' and that she has "finally arrived at a place of acceptance regarding the mat (Aikido) and the page (poetry)." Clearly, she belongs to both worlds. This is stunning work that is superbly grounded in deep and thoughtful awareness." —Jeanie C. Williams

The Storm That Tames Us
La Alameda Press
1999

"This is a very personal and beautiful book. It has a quiet yet passionate intensity, richly connected to earth and to the yearning and scary rhythms and rites of true loving. The intimacy is both gentle and unafraid. At heart, The Storm That Tames Us is a hosanna to the ways we can learn to trust each other, no matter what, knowing that the rewards are absolutely golden." —John Nichols

"Fearless, makes me feel ready for a new skin to emerge."
–Frank Morgan

In solitude and in community, Gregorio's women give voice to our twin longings for individual identity and relationship.
