Reviews
"Robert Gibb's new collection, Sheet Music, is quickly evident in its striking trompe l'oeil cover. Sheet music provides a musical blueprint from which musicians perform in time and space, much as actors realize a dramatic script, an audibilizing process that is unavoidably idiosyncratic because of all the human variables involved. Indeed, the title of Gibb's collection is a bit more accurately represented like this: 'SHEET MUSIC: poems,' because the poems in Sheet Music are not just 'about' music but also about themselves, metaphorically re-presenting the innate musicality of both their forms and their content." -Prairie Schooner "Robert Gibb's poetry will give readers an idea of what Wordsworth might have been had he lived in the late twentieth century." -Tar River Review
