With No Hat by Tim Seibles
SKU
$17.00
Celebrating his 70th year, Tim Seibles presents With No Hat, a new collection with a long history. Energized and original, With No Hat also offers a retrospective of Seibles’ life and career–including his signature sassy villanelles; pop up cameos of cartoon characters; meditations on aging, death, identity, and at-one-ment with all beings; and leading the parade–the main character: the poem itself–lithe and mischievous–not only bareheaded, but in the full glory of his birthday suit. Yeats says, “I made my song a coat…but there’s more enterprise in walking naked.” With No Hat enterprises–strides, sprints, gavottes, and tiptoes through a life work of forging imagination into unforgettable tableaus, spanning self and other, and embracing and assessing, with Seibles’ empathic but cold eye, our culture and our lives in mortal crisis.
