Synopsis

In SIGHTLINES, Robert Gibb takes the usual practice of Ekphrasis—the lyric recasting of artworks into words—and extends it across a range of visual material, including poems about artists, parallel narratives triggered by their works, and poems in which subject matter (clouds, birds, etc.) is a kind of identifying brand. There are first-person poems as well, taking in the poet’s own history as art student and painter. “Don’t look. See,” the book tells us—sightlines being both the vantages and the lines of the poems themselves.
