Hold Everything: Poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781644453094)

A beloved poet captures the beauty that attention to the public and private offers

In his latest collection, Dobby Gibson explores the strangeness of the everyday with fresh urgency, inviting us to reawaken and reclaim our fuller selves. Hold Everything moves at the speed of breaking news as it makes a plea for grace in a world running short on mercy. Its epistolary poems put us in correspondence with Edo-period poets and 1980s hair-metal gods, artificial intelligence and hotel soaps. Gibson's poems remain on alert, demonstrating the many ways a deeper attention to the marvels and horrors of the contemporary world can form a kind of civil disobedience.

Hold Everything gathers up the harbingers of our turbulent world as it reaches for hope and evinces wonder.
