“Moving freely among subjects including technology, politics, the natural world, and memory, Gibson animates his poems with epiphanies both large and small, all made possible by his fine-tuned observation and humor… This surprising collection shines.” —Publishers Weekly, ⭐Starred Review⭐

“A dazzlingly composed and profound meditation on time, persistence, and the kind of transcendence that can fit inside an ordinary human life.”—2025 Four Quartets Prize Judges’ Citation

"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." —Major Jackson

“Gibson’s a poet I never tire of hearing: The more of his work I read the more I want to read.” —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
