He was poetry and fiction editor of the interdisciplinary journal Janus Head from 2004-2011. His book Jagged Timeline was translated into Danish by Bent Sørensen of Aalborg University, and work is forthcoming in the Journal of Italian Translation via Gianluca Rizzo of Colby College. In 2006 he was awarded a John Anson Kittredge Education Fund grant to travel and read his work at the Poetry and Politics Conference at the University of Stirling, Scotland. There, he met Ben Bollig, now at Oxford, who recorded the meeting online, writing that "he is the most passionate advocate of poetry I have met." National Book Award Finalist, William Heyen calls Gibbons "one of the great writers of our time." In 2013 the poet was invited to give the Creative Keynote Address, which he titled, Kerouac & the Ecstatic Act of Writing, at the 2nd annual European Beat Studies Conference held at Aalborg University. Along with his wife, Kathleen, he was a staff writer for The Quarterly Review of Wines, when in 1994 they were guests of Piper-Heidsieck Champagne at the Cannes Film Festival, where Pulp Fiction won the Palme d'Or. A resident of Portland, Maine for over a decade, during which time he published seven books, prompted former chairman of PEN New England, Richard Hoffman, to write, "Gibbons is in the process of sacralizing Portland, lodging it in the imagination of readers, as Williams did for Paterson, Cavafy for Alexandria, Joyce for Dublin."ver menos
