Combining elements of anthropology, ritual, film, folklore, cut-up and surrealism, Hibbert's poems are uniquely his own both in style and concerns. He doesn't so much communicate with the reader as create a linguistic-psychological structure into which the reader is invited. In this space, a symbolic merging of time and person takes place, although the poet and reader are "Miles apart/ in our musty caves/ raising our private shadows." At a time when too many poets speak only of small, personal matters, Hibbert produces expansive, challenging poems.--Thomas Willoch
