Draw Me Without Boundaries

The poet will be joined in conversation with Jon Andersen.

Powerful love between a grandmother and granddaughter animates the voices in this poignant series of inner monologues set against the backdrop of global climate crisis and the COVID pandemic. Through interwoven prose and poetry Margaret Gibson’s Draw Me Without Boundaries (LSU Press, 2024) lays bare the integrity and depth of inquiry it takes to make life and death choices in a broken world. 

Margaret Gibson, poet laureate of Connecticut 2019 – 2022, is the author of fourteen collections of poetry, including The Vigil, a finalist for the National Book Award. Her honors include the Lamont Poetry Selection, the Melville Kane Award, and two Connecticut Book Awards. She is the editor of Waking Up to the Earth: Connecticut Poets in a Time of Global Climate Crisis. 

Jonathan Andersen’s most recent book of poems, Augur (Red Dragonfly Press, 2018), was awarded the David Martinson-Meadowhawk Prize and named a finalist for the Connecticut Book Award in Poetry. His poetry has appeared in numerous journals, including Hanging Loose, Nimrod, North American Review, The Progressive, and Rattle. He is a professor of English at Connecticut State Community College – Quinebaug Valley.
