A masterpiece, simply. - Seb DoubinskyAnatomy & Geography is Robert Gibbons' magnum opus, a colossal poetic achievement, a profound bildungsroman, and an intimate psychic map of the territories of literature, music, philosophy, painting, and drama. This alchemy of Julia Kristeva, John Coltrane, Goya, Walter Benjamin, Rauschenberg, Rimbaud, Lorca, Cixous, Baldwin, and Baudelaire reveals Gibbons as one of the great flâneurs of the imagination and its practice on the page and the pavement.
The trinity of books that comprise Anatomy & Geography includes prefaces by Ben Bollig (Professor of Latin American Literature & Film, Oxford University), Bent S rensen (Freud and Divination), and by poet and Charles Olson scholar Peter Anastas. One of the most original and ambitious poetic projects of our time. If one had wondered which direction the American long poem would take after Olson's Maximus, one need look no further than Robert Gibbons' masterful Anatomy & Geography. Like the Maximus Poems and William Carlos Williams' Paterson, which inspired Olson, each in turn inspired by Pound's Cantos, Anatomy & Geography is among other things a poem of place-of many places, in fact: places geographically locatable and described in the way that only a person who has immersed himself in their history and traversed them on foot can know them. -Peter Anastas, from his Preface.
