Gilkyson’s latest album, “Secularia,” is recently released and the reviews have been fantastic.
With nearly a dozen records under the renowned folk label Red House, Gilkyson is producing the best music of her career. Gilkyson's music, in the classic folk music tradition, offers a vivid reflection of these times.
“Secularia” is a collection of spiritually charged songs that don't fit within the parameters of traditional religious beliefs.
Her songs challenge us to embrace a more inclusive perspective, to respect all life and be accountable for our actions.
Nina Gerber has released solo CDs as well as produced, arranged and performed with many other folk singers.
Gerber continues to prove with her guitar that some of the truest and most emotional communication requires no words.
When combined with the voice of another musician of heart, the result is unforgettable.

It's been a very long time since I was young, but I remember the giddiness of first love, and David Steingass, a Wisconsin poet, shows us in this poem how poetry can both recall and reflect that kind of emotional excitement.
This is from his book, Hunt & Gather, from Red Dragonfly Press.
Youth
I vowed I'd quit ciggies on the heel of the mother
Of all hangovers. The world at noon pulsed a first
Columbus Ohio spring day. I'd fallen in love
Of course, as recently as chem lab and held
The ghost of her smell
In my clothes. Or lips
If I'd been lucky. My blood thunk
Thunk-thunked, the way a cut feels
As you bend to tie shoes. The way life
Tingles the first day it breaks loose
To crawl your skin. Dizzy,
I ran through milky sap and
Sycamore-leafed streets, mixing the smells
Of just-thawed earth with essence of girl
My blood steamed. I understood lost-at-sea as glamorous
Isolation, the way a hummingbird's movement through two
Eye blinks allows it to vanish and
Re-appear. My wings blurred hinges
Among worlds. Nothing held me. Nothing
Could catch me. I'd run this way forever.
