Fragments
Philip Theibert is the most prolific and multifaceted writer I know, and this new collection does not disappoint. All of Theibert's varied talents and interests come together here with lucidity and humor. Even those who normally don't "get" poetry will love Theibert's fresh, hilarious take on subjects like baseball, religion, cartoon characters, and parenthood. -David Hornbuckle - Editor, Steel Toe Review Mr. Theibert's book is simply wonderful. It's all there-the humor, absurdity, irony of everyday life. Baseball, emails, highways, pizza deliverymen, love and loneliness and more, are subjects for his askance eye. Humor abounds (helmets for cartoon characters, choosing a pope: rock, papal, scissors), as does touching moments (a Russian bride, a blind girl in Jackson, Mississippi, singing). The poet's unique vision has produced a book that is at once profound, accessible and funny! He is that word maestro who makes us hear and feel the truths he is telling. Quick, pick it up and enjoy. You will be glad you did. -Mel Glenn, Author
Collisions at Home
Like a good pitcher, poet Philip Theibert keeps the reader off balance. He tantalizes with witty light-as-air offerings, then brushes us back with blazing lyric chin-music. Just as we lean in to pick up some comic narrative subtext, he plunks us with a merciless poem about love. Theibert is unrivalled in his use of baseball metaphors to comment on some larger issue. But he is particularly appealing in that, in many of his poems, baseball is the issue: the reader relives haunting midnight bus rides with career minor leaguers ... recognizes the hollowness in the plink of an aluminum bat ... witnesses the penetration of a man's obsession with baseball into every aspect of his life: family, career, relationships. Philip Theibert's Collisions at Home does what poetry is supposed to do. These poems illuminate and delight. They're accessible as a slow hanging curve, wicked as a scorching liner in the gap.
