Sleeping Upside Down
Kate Lynn Hibbard
‘Kate Lynn Hibbard’s SLEEPING UPSIDE DOWN is a beautiful book of poetry, composed in well-crafted and pleasing cadences, sharing a vision of sexuality extraordinary for both the strong storytelling it inspires, and for a tender intimacy that pervades each strophe like another warm music. In poem after poem, it is a former norm of sexual orientation that is consciously backgrounded–a past, ‘straight’ life fraught with the unresolved and repressed–and a new, happy and mature lifecelebrated and patiently chronicled in its stead. It is then that the plain sweetness of the everyday returns–planting peas for a summer garden, cooking a cranberry chutney, sleeping through a blizzard in late March–and all of these shared in the erotics of a woman-to-woman lovingness. What a debut. It was a gift to have read this wonderful book.’–Garrett Hongo
