Graywolf Press Publication Launch with Dobby Gibson
January 11, 2013 (7:00 p.m.)
The Loft at Open Book (Performance Hall)
 

Join us for a public launch of Dobby Gibson’s second collection of poetry, It Becomes You.
 

Meditative, lyrical, aphoristic, and always served with wry wit, the poems in Dobby Gibson’s It Becomes You explore the divergent conditions by which we’re perpetually defined—the daily weather, the fluctuations of the Dow, the growth of a cancer cell, the politics of the day. What surrounds us becomes us, Gibson suggests, in a book that will ultimately become you.
 

“Dobby Gibson’s poetry . . . is equal parts tender, triumphant, exhilarating, disturbing, and thought provoking: it’s fantastic.”—The Corresponder
