The collection poses the idea that all writing is, at least abstractly, an act of translation, whether said act \"translates\" observation into word or moves ideas from one language to another. Through these acts of transformation, Gibbons infuses the English language with stylistic aspects of other languages and poetic traditions. The resulting poems are imbued with a sense of homage that allows us to respectfully reimagine the borders of language and revel in the fellowship of idea sharing. In this tragicomedy of the human experience and investigation of humanity's effects, Gibbons identifies the \"shared underthoughts that we can (all) sense: \" desire, love, pain, and fervor.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReginald Gibbons is the author of eleven poetry collections.\u003ci\u003e His Creatures of a Day \u003c\/i\u003ewas a finalist for the National Book Award.
