"She is larger than life, she contains multitudes," W. Whitman says of Britney Spears, a claim D. Gilson has taken up in this chapbook of poetry from Sibling Rivalry Press. Brit Lit is the story of a man whose fall into adoration of the pop songstress parallels a nation's coming of age in a modern world. These poems are like Britney herself: America at her finest and most flexible, serving to buffer new definitions of spirituality, how wars affect us, and the complexities of sexuality.
