Savoy Bookshop &amp; Café presents a poetry reading and Q&amp;A with Margaret Gibson for her newest book of poems, <a href="https://www.banksquarebooks.com/book/9780807175637" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Glass Globe</a>. About the BookWith The Glass Globe, celebrated poet Margaret Gibson completes a trilogy distinguished by its meditative focus on the author&#x27;s experience of her late husband&#x27;s Alzheimer&#x27;s disease. In this new collection, she blends elegies of personal bereavement with elegies for the earth during the ongoing global crisis wrought by climate change. Gibson&#x27;s poems personalize the vastness of climate catastrophe while simultaneously enlarging personal grief beyond the limits of self-absorption. A work of great compassion and vision, The Glass Globe is a necessary, heartbreaking book from one of our most compelling poets.About the AuthorMargaret Gibson, the poet laureate of Connecticut from 2019 to 2022, is the author of thirteen books of poems, including The Vigil, a finalist for the National Book Award. She has received grants from the Connecticut Commission on the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Academy of American Poets. Her awards include the Lamont Selection, the Melville Kane Award, and the Connecticut Book Award. She is the editor of Waking Up to the Earth: Connecticut Poets in a Time of Global Climate Crisis.About This EventThis event will take place in person at Savoy Bookshop &amp; Café.
