With No Hat

Celebrating his 70th year, Tim Seibles presents With No Hat, a new collection with a long history. Energised and original, With No Hat also offers a retrospective of Seibles' life and career - including his signature sassy villanelles; pop up cameos of cartoon characters; meditations on ageing, death, identity, and at-one-ment with all beings; and leading the parade - the main character: the poem itself - lithe and mischievous - not only bareheaded, but in the full glory of his birthday suit. With No Hat enterprises - strides, sprints, gavottes, and tiptoes through a life work of forging imagination into unforgettable tableaus, spanning self and other, and embracing and assessing, with Seibles' empathic but cold eye, our culture and our lives in mortal crisis.
