The precision, originality, and playfulness of Robert Gibbs' poems have captivated readers for over half a century. Mixing the cerebral and the heartfelt, Gibbs' poems investigate and celebrate family, history, and nature with decisive imagery, idiomatic immediacy, punning wordplay, and breadth of imagination.
