Old Love and Present Tense: Poems

By Margaret Gibson

The stunning late-life poems of these two books crown Margaret Gibson's career as a poet revered for poems as luminous and intimate as they are piercing and insightful. She writes eloquently and playfully about new love in old age, urgently of her abiding love for the endangered Earth, and with compassion for those who suffer. Rooted in the wisdom of a life fully lived, these poems face illness and dying with a fearless grace that continues to embrace living in the present tense.
