In this splendid collection of engaging and unmistakably American poems, David Jibson manages to find beauty in utterly unexpected places: piled up on a back shelf at the Salvation Army Store, for example, or strung along the bedraggled length of the Ohio Turnpike-or perhaps in the lovely, tentative dance of a blind woman learning to walk with a white cane. Along with a faint echo of Ted Kooser or Billy Collins at their conversational best, you'll be captivated by Jibson's own irresistible voice: that of a witty, insightful observer of the astonishments that surround us. Marilyn L. Taylor, Wisconsin Poet Laureate, Emerita To read David Jibson's poems is like leafing through a pile of photos of your life and suddenly rediscovering feelings and events you had forgotten or never knew. Each snapshot is replete with carefully selected images organized to create unity and fulfillment. His poems range from trivia to exotic, from people we recognize to those we would like to meet. Topics include science, religion, philosophy, history, music, art, and (the requisite for all good poetry) basic old-fashioned entertainment. Lawrence W. Thomas, Founding Editor, Third Wednesday Magazine Honorary Chancellor, Poetry Society of Michigan
