Not Hearing the Wood Thrush:  Poems

“At once plainspoken and profoundly inventive, these poems have a quality of attention that is riveting. Gibson’s courage to look without preconception, and to resist straining after philosophical or poetic conclusions, makes her piercing awareness possible. ‘Not-knowing,’ said Zen Master Shunryu Suzuki, ‘is most intimate.’ Again and again, Gibson illuminates human sentience with subtle and surprising force. This is an important book, whose spare, vivid language rises out of the babel of contemporary American poetry like a star.”—Chase Twichell

 

Margaret Gibson is the author of twelve collections of poems and one prose memoir. A native of Virginia, now a resident of Preston, Connecticut, she has received numerous honors, including the Lamont Selection, Connecticut Book Award, and Melville Kane Award. Her collection The Vigil was a finalist for the National Book Award in Poetry.
