Poetry. On the occasion of National Poetry Month 2004, MOBY JANE was selected as one of the ten must-read books of Canadian poetry. Eli Mandel calls Gilbert "an extraordinary, intelligent experimentalist." Originally published in 1987 and long out of print, MOBY JANE contains ten years' worth of Gilbert, poem by poem. Gerry Gilbert lives and writes in Vancouver. He produces BC Monthly, Canada's longest running poetry journal, and has published many volumes of poetry including Lease, Year of the Rush, Azure Blues and From Next Spring.
