Critics Review

“I Used to Be a Pisces is a brilliant, subtle, and thoughtful book. Camilla Gibb’s powerful images simultaneously animate gestures, situations, sensations, emotions, danger, and beauty. The narrative tension that emerges creates a collage of beings, animals, objects, nature, and thoughts, with magnificent results.” –Nicole Brossard, author of Distantly

“Camilla Gibb’s debut collection reveals that poetry lies at the core of her celebrated and widely known works of fiction and memoir. Brilliant in form and relevant to us all, I Used to Be a Pisces is a beautiful and outstanding book.” –A. F. Moritz, author of Great Silent Ballad
