Wil Gibson - Harvest the Dirt
Wil Gibson - Harvest the Dirt
POETRY
Gritty, vivid, at times harsh, Harvest the Dirt is a tour-de-force of the American dream-nightmare. Traveling the back roads of double-wide trailers and mobile meth labs, Gibson arrives at a new truth and realism, a pride in the dirt from which you come.

“Harvest the Dirt is the fuck-you-listen-to-me reminder that life is real, and raw, and constantly in a state of push and pull and break. Gibson doesn't need metaphors to talk about drugs and despair and life. There's no hidden meaning. This is not a collection of self-help pieces. He's not going to tell you that anything will ever be better. What Gibson will do though is craft a guide of real-world, worst-case scenarios, so that maybe you'll give a damn about yourself, or the world around you, or art, or whatever it is to which you yearn to cling. This is Jim Carroll and William Burroughs meets George Carlin and Sam Kinison in a dark alley for an I'll-raise-you-a-story kind of raw. This is not a book of poetry; this is an experience.”—Chris Margolin, The Poetry Question
Wil Gibson was born from a good idea and a bottle of bourbon and raised in some of the poorest communities northern Illinois and eastern Arkansas have to offer. He is a proud, mistake-prone, father of four.
