Based on the true story of Sarah Ellen Gibson, the sixth woman to arrive in Fairbanks, Alaska, in the gold rush of 1903, this novel in poems incorporates a wide variety of style—persona, narrative, and lyric poems, as well as historical photographs and documents—to tell Gibson’s story. Through these poems, the reader is offered the chance to try on the dusty, mining-town overcoat of Gibson’s life.
