[12/01/26] Gibb, Robert: Winter Fires

Gathering poems from three decades of writing, at the heart of Winter Fires is the poet’s connection to the now-vanished industrial world of Homestead, Pennsylvania. Steel mills and labor history, family elegy and other losses and lives, including the poet’s wife, figure powerfully in poems lyrical and formally engaged. This book is a treasury of witness and remembrance from one of America’s great contemporary voices.
