Publisher's Synopsis

In addition to being named a Finalist for the National Book Award for Poetry in 2008 (Creatures of a Day), Gibbons is the recipient of: the Chicago Tribune Chicagoan of the Year in Literature (2009); the Best Book of Poetry Award (2002); the Balcones Poetry Prize (1997); the Carl Sandburg Award (1991); and the National Poetry Series Award (1986), the Anisfield-Wolf Award, among many others.

Over the years, Gibbons has become the only author to have won novel, short story, and poetry book prizes from the Texas Institute of Letters.

Gibbons is well-known and highly respected in the academic and literary worlds, having taught extensively at Princeton, Rutgers, Columbia, and Northwestern. He was the editor of TriQuarterly magazine for 16 years, and has won fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the NEA, and the Center for Hellenic Studies. He has very strong connections in the Chicago, IL, area.

His fiction has sold particularly well in the past. His novel, Sweetbitter, was published and reissued by three different presses, including Penguin, and sold more than 12,000 copies.

These new stories fit well into the category of very short fiction, "short shorts," or "flash" fiction, which has seen a strong resurgence in recent years.
