"With humor and existential urgency, Hold Everything makes visible all the questions that carry us forward better attuned to the moment we are living. Gibson possesses a sizzling, quick-fire imagination, one that can utter, “each of us has been evicted from / our false palace of eternity.” I miss this kind of expansionist yet sobering wit. The complexity of perceiving our world requires such a poet as this, who entertains but also holds up the mirror unflinchingly."
—Major Jackson

“Gibson’s a poet I never tire of hearing: The more of his work I read the more I want to read… On the one hand, it’s sad, as sad as life. On the other, it’s not, and thank Gibson for it. He could even be the voice of my generation, if my generation had a beautiful voice.”
—Stephanie Burt

“Every poem in this book tells me something I don’t know, or something I’m always in need of being reminded… Gibson’s Hold Everything shows us what it might mean if only we could hold everything we need to survive, love, and thrive. I love this book.”
—Dara Barrois/Dixon
