Book Description

"Gibbon's Magdalena offers a fresh and profound voice to American poetry. Comparisons are impossible because this book doesn't remind me of anything I've read in years. I loved it."-Jim Harrison

Magdalena is a finely drawn collection which, with sometimes painful honesty, examines the vagaries and vicissitudes of a heart in conflict with itself. The poems invoke the nature of an independent woman embracing her sexuality, travels, and being in the world.

Maureen Gibbon is the author of a novel, Swimming Sweet Arrow. She teaches at Bemidji State University in Bemidji, Minnesota.

Well hello there from a stressed out 3rd Year Undergraduate!
Poor but happy (ish) have hubby making tea and ladling out sympathy at the moment. Not to mention beer and curry. Tis Christmas break and we have all that palaver as well, especially with his rellies coming and staying over. He assures me that all will be well and he'll do "everything" but because we have to accomodate 2 adults and 3 children we will have to sleep in the loft conversion..
All very well.. but it does happen to double as my studio as well..!
