Description
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.

Reviews
Intoxicating, tender, at times devastating. These poems still sing with a ferocious love, a necessary rage.
- Ali Whitelock
Blessed be Magi Gibson for the country hath need of such a voice - made in Scotland from girders.
- Cencrastus, on the original edition of Wild Women of a Certain Age
