Summary

Award-winning, bestselling author Camilla Gibb returns with her first poetry collection, a profound new work that examines our relationships to the earth and one another.

I Used to Be a Pisces is a deeply felt meditation on love and belonging, exploring changing landscapes, loves, and selves. In these poems, accompanied by her original collage work, Gibb generously invites us to engage with our surroundings, recognize the relationships that shape our existence, and examine our longing for restoration and regeneration.

Grappling with what it means to feel at home in a time of upheaval, and woven through with threads of hope, grief, and the persistent pursuit of renewal, I Used to Be a Pisces is a masterful poetic work from one of the country’s most beloved and celebrated authors.
