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.
