Pittsburghese, the latest offering from American poet Robert Gibb, is a work of poignant remembrance, filled with the revelations found in the everyday "debris of paradise." It encompasses both a world of elegies for the great buildings and working stiffs of the city's industrial past, and a pantheist sensibility alert to the "necessary mystery" of the trees and the city's wild creatures.

Learning and Using Languages in Ethnographic Research breaks the silence that still surrounds learning a language for ethnographic research and in the process demystifies some of the multilingual aspects of contemporary ethnographic work. It does this by offering a set of engaging and accessible accounts of language learning and use written by ethnographers who are at different stages of their academic career. A key theme is how researchers' experiences of learning and using other languages in fieldwork contexts relate to wider structures of power, hierarchy and inequality. The volume aims to promote a wider debate among researchers about how they themselves learn and use different languages in their work, and to help future fieldworkers make more informed choices when carrying out ethnographic research using other languages.

The newest poetry collection of Pennsylvania poet Robert Gibb.

This is the final volume of Homestead Works, a collection of four books of poetry that explore the industrial past and legacy of the old steel town of Homestead, Pennsylvania, and, by extension, Pittsburgh. National Poetry Series-winner Robert Gibb's haunting historical narratives capture the Steel City.

The poems in The Empty Loom weave together a figure - lover, wife, mother, muse - which takes shape before us, fully present in what Samuel Beckett calls 'the time of the body'. Now joyful, now elegiac in tone, Gibb's love and its loss are rendered in the quiet elegance of image and line characteristic of his poems, their focus shifting like the sun as it tracks its passage across a room, a life.

Explores the lost industrial world - a world of steel mills, fire-strewn rivers, and working-class lives, in which place and family stand as metaphors for each other. This book contains poems that reach back to the late nineteenth century in a mixture of elegy and chronicle, genealogy and history, reclaiming the past and its witnesses.

Lyric poems that tell stories in metered lines and stanzas.
