"Intrinsic to the poetry is a contemporary exploration of the erasures of women that continues to happen today, especially as they age: Amelia, where did your bones go... Gilbert asks in a rhetorical verse conversation to Earhart - from one poet to another - that takes flight. Lines that zoom, 45 bank, stall, vertical bank/glide, dive 38 spiral, tailspin, side/slip, split 's' turn, forward slip/barrel roll, loop inside, loop outside into some of the conspiracy theories surrounding Amelia's death. Even though it has been more than eighty years since Earhart's been missing, Gilbert writes Lady Bird at the same age that Amelia was when she disappeared."--

"With My Eyes Wide Open navigates life's catastrophes, failures, and coming through experiential slaughter revived and reborn to new possibilities. The biographical themes of grief, family, and resiliency amid the backdrop of racism and near poverty are explored with earnestness and no filter. This is confessional poetry where the poet acknowledges his wanton decisions with deft poetic skill, astute creativity, and imaginative flair. This is not a book of victimhood, but one of triumph!"--
