Overview
Overview
In these poems, Ms. Gibson explores the ever-changing moods of the sea from a sun-kissed balm to a quiet threat to seeing it as our gateway to a mystery much bigger than we are. She also explores the experiences of loss and grief with humor, sadness, and in "Not Shaped Like a Fist," with anger and resignation. Death makes a personal appearance in two poems, advising in "Close as a Twin," that "It's not personal," since he comes for everyone. In another poem, "The Visit," Death gets outmatched by a dying woman and backs off for the time being. Through it all, there is a sense of reverence at life's beauty and mystery as when, at the end of the title poem, Wonder-filled and Strange, Ms. Gibson writes: "Perhaps there are many worlds / or maybe only this one - / lavish and unpredictable, / wonder-filled and strange." We invite you to step into Ms. Gibson's poetic world and explore with her why we're here and what it might mean.
