Meet the Artist: Poet Becky Gould Gibson

Award-winning poet Becky Gould Gibson is the author of Heading Home.  The book was the inaugural winner of the 2013 Lena M. Schull Book Contest, a contest run and funded by the North Carolina Poetry Society and the Poetry Council of North Carolina.  Upon winning the award, Gibson's collection was published in 2014 by Main Street Rag Publishing Company of Charlotte, North Carolina.  

Heading Home is organized into four sections, and Gibson's work incorporates subjects from the natural world, discusses origin and tradition, and engages readers with playful conversations between historical figures.  

Gibson's poems have been featured in The Comstock Review, the Connecticut River Review, and Feminist Studies. And you may have seen Becky's poem “Owls on Runnymeade” around Winston-Salem this past year as part of the Winston-Salem Writers program “Poetry in Plain Sight.” 

Becky Gould Gibson will be reading at Quail Ridge Books on Sunday, March 1, 2015 as part of their Sundry Poets Series.
