Gritty, vivid, at times harsh, Wil Gibson's latest poetry collection, 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.

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 has collections published with Moon Pie Press, Sargent Press, and Great for MEDIA. He has been published online and in print with Midwestern Gothic, Radius, Opus, Yellow Chair Review, Drunk in a Midnight Choir, Electric Cereal, and more. Wil was nominated for a Pushcart Prize and a Best of the Net in 2015, and was featured on Button Poetry. He likes people and other animals a lot, and would love to talk to you for hours on end about lighthouses and random historical facts.
