I Like Your Hat

Magi Gibson

From social and political issues, Amazon reviews and reflections on life’s everyday moments, I Like Your Hat is Magi Gibson’s latest poetry collection. Gibson’s fresh, evocative (and sometimes provocative) writing is both modern and timeless. She draw inferences with keen insight from the little things in life (from buying stationery, graffiti to hats) that affect the big issues in all our lives – growing older, poverty and loss. Sometimes the smallest detail tells the most important story.
