News at Eleven: "Poetry is really an act of taking things

that come to you," she [Margaret Gibson] adds, "--a scarlet tanager or an act of war--whatever takes your attention, you study it for yourself, but you also take it into that part of yourself where you test things. You look out and you look in."

The subjects of Gibson's poems vary from the natural to the material world, from the woods in her Connecticut backyard to an ancient road in Greece, from deeply personal explorations of death and dying to the universal politics of armed conflict.
