Stephen Gibson’s poems are the work of a serious, intent, often
appalled tourist. The word might look like a putdown, but his
subject is the glamour and horror of history, and when it comes to
the past, attentive tourism is the best that any of us can hope
for. This tourist’s gaze if focused and fascinated, his tone is
even and intelligent (as he has it in one poem, “scared in the
headlights, but the brain busy nonetheless”), and his technique
is all but flawless (unobtrusively so, a true case of art hiding
art). Together the gaze, the subjects on which it alights, and the
poet’s superlative skill add up to poems of astute, moving
observation and often overwhelming authority. —Dick Davis
