Poetry. Art. "There is a lyrical, hypnotic purity in the poems of Stephen Gibson. Where other young poets place on display their earnestness of their hyper-literary savvy, Gibson has been a longtime student of dream: of the dilated moment between day and nights, dream and wakefulness, fact and imagination"-Tony Hoagland. "From the beginning, Stephen's poems moved me.It's the world of our big, old empty American cities, the world we live in now, alive and lonely, crowded with signals we can't read, or can read for only a minute before they change or disappear. I love these poems because they're lyrics of a post-industrial age: clear-eyed but not cynical."-Marie Howe.
