520    "For over 40 years, Margaret Gibson's poetry has explored 
       intimate human relationships in the natural and social 
       worlds we inhabit. In her thirteenth volume of poems, 
       Gibson continues to see herself and her world with clarity
       and awareness, but now with perhaps greater urgency. These
       poems grieve deeply, even as they warn and celebrate, with
       elegies for the beloved and elegies for the earth during 
       the impending global crisis wrought by climate change. 
       "The Glass Globe" begins with a moving poem which recounts
       washing the beloved's body just after death, and it 
       concludes with a poem that "washes" the body of the earth,
       "this only, and only once, for once and for all / earth, 
       as if it were a lover who has died." The book follows a 
       dialectic pattern: the first section of open-hearted 
       personal loss and lament moves to a second section of 
       poems that explore environmental crisis, followed by a 
       third section in which the vastness of climatic 
       catastrophe and the intimacy of personal bereavement merge
       and reflect each other"--|cProvided by publisher.
