Pole Dancing to Gospel Hymns
Andrea Gibson's dynamic and timely new book, Pole Dancing to Gospel Hymns, is an energetic collection of stirring and introspective poetry. Hauntingly vivid, the poems voyage from a soldier's lingering psychological wounds to the curious questions of schoolchildren on the meaning of "hate", to a lover's witty and vibrant description of longing.
Gibson's poems deconstruct the current political climate through stunning imagery and careful crafting. With the same velocity, the poignant and vacillating love poems are equally capable of sweeping the air out of the room. Pole Dancing to Gospel Hymns has a bold and unforgettable internal voice and is rich with the kind of questioning that inspires action.
