A quiet witness to the small, sharp moments that shape a life, I Am Watching gathers Shirley Gibson’s poems and short pieces into a single, attentive voice. These pages move from domestic interiors to the wider world with a steady, observant eye—tracking the ordinary gestures, the sudden silences, and the private reckonings that reveal who we are. With spare language and a patient lyricism, Gibson listens for the small betrayals and small mercies that mark our days, offering work that is at once intimate and clear‑sighted. Read slowly; these are poems that reward attention and return to you changed.
