"Gibbon's Magdalena offers a fresh and profound voice to American poetry. Comparisons are impossible because this book doesn't remind me of anything I've read in years. I loved it." - Jim Harrison
Magdalena is a finely drawn collection which, with sometimes painful honesty, examines the vagaries and vicissitudes of a heart in conflict with itself. The poems invoke the nature of an independent woman embracing her sexuality, travels, and being in the world.
