Magdalena (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781893996830)

"Gibbon's Magdalena offers a fresh and profound voice to American poetry. Comparisons are impossible because this book doesn't remind me of anything I've read in years. I loved it."--Jim Harrison

Magdalena is a finely drawn collection which, with sometimes painful honesty, examines the vagaries and vicissitudes of a heart in conflict with itself. The poems invoke the nature of an independent woman embracing her sexuality, travels, and being in the world.

Maureen Gibbon is the author of a novel, Swimming Sweet Arrow. She teaches at Bemidji State University in Bemidji, Minnesota.
