Description
High Jump as Icarus Story is a powerful debut that redefines the boundaries of Blackness, queerness, and masculinity through the lens of myth, pop culture, and the high jump. Gustav Parker Hibbett's poems are formally inventive, speaking in a capacious voice that is both vulnerable and rapturous.
These poems navigate a complex America, conjuring its young into monsters, and explore the elusive nature of love and beauty. With a focus on the human spirit, Hibbett's work is both insightful and hard-won, offering a vision of triumph even in the face of failure.
With its unique blend of myth, culture, and sport, High Jump as Icarus Story is a thought-provoking and deeply personal collection that invites readers to imagine and reimagine their possible selves.
