Böcker av Magi Gibson

From social and political issues to found poems, Gibson's fresh, evocative (and sometimes provocative) writing is both modern and timeless.These poems spring from taxis, supermarkets and long car drives through the wind and rain. They spring from fantasies, daydreams, nightmares, from love and hate, but, above all, they exalt and enhance everyday experiences.

From social and political issues, Amazon reviews and reflections on life's everyday moments, I Like Your Hat is Magi Gibson's latest poetry collection. Gibson's fresh, evocative (and sometimes provocative) writing is both modern and timeless. She draw inferences with keen insight from the little things in life (from buying stationery, graffiti to hats) that affect the big issues in all our lives - growing older, poverty and loss. Sometimes the smallest detail tells the most important story.

A woman sunbathing on a demolition site in Bridgeton. Two women in a punch up in Glasgow's West End. A young mother breast-feeding in an art gallery. A working man stepping off a tenement roof on a snowy morning. City streets. Country lanes. Not to mention Hugh MacDiarmid's dirty socks. Or that poem with the intriguing title, 'V****A'.
