Passion: The Gemini Project is a 122-page award-winning anthology of poetry by the Caribbean poet and spoken word artist Robert Gibson. Winner of the 2019 Gine On?! People’s Choice Award for Book of the Year, this collection is a bold, unapologetic exploration of duality—balancing sensuality with raw emotion, and intimacy with personal growth.
The anthology is divided into two striking sections. The first immerses readers in erotic poetry—seductive verses that ignite the senses and create a euphoric connection between passion, love, and the body. These poems echo what fans of Robert already know and love: his fearless embrace of the erotic.
But the second section shifts tone, revealing a different dimension of the poet. Here, the verses are introspective, emotional, and sometimes dark—expressing frustration, pain, loss, and self-discovery. This contrast highlights the truth of his signature line: “Passion isn’t always about sex!”
Passion: The Gemini Project is more than an erotic poetry collection—it is also a testament to resilience, identity, and healing. Robert answers the lingering question from his audience—"Can you write anything other than erotica?"—by delivering deeply personal works drawn from his poetic journals. Themes of self-image, recovery, grief, and transformation are layered into this collection, giving readers a rare glimpse into the poet’s inner world.
This anthology is perfect for lovers of contemporary poetry who want to experience both the intensity of erotic expression and the vulnerability of personal reflection. It appeals to readers of spoken word, fans of Caribbean literature, and anyone seeking poetry that dares to merge desire with depth.
With its reimagined and re-released edition, Passion: The Gemini Project continues to invite readers to see themselves within its verses—whether through the fire of passion or the quiet strength of healing.
Bold, sensual, and emotionally rich, Passion: The Gemini Project is an essential addition to the library of anyone who loves award-winning poetry that challenges, seduces, and inspires. Robert proves that passion extends beyond the erotic—it is also about truth, vulnerability, and the courage to reveal one’s authentic self.
