A number of poems meditate on loneliness and fear; others speak to \"No one\"--a name richer than prayer or vow.\" In this transformative new collection, Gibson moves inward, taking surprising, mercurial turns of the imagination, guided by an original and probative intelligence. With a clear eye and an open heart, Gibson writes, \"How stark it is to be alive\"--and also how glorious, how curious, how intimate.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMargaret Gibson is the author of twelve collections of poems and one prose memoir.
