Gibson began his literary career in the mid-1930s as a poet and short-story writer, gaining recognition with the Harriet Monroe Memorial Prize (1945) before turning to theatre. His regional work at Topeka Civic Theatre culminated in a Broadway debut with *Two for the Seesaw* (1958), but his masterwork—*The Miracle Worker*—arrived the following year, winning the Tony Award and establishing him as a major American dramatist. Over five decades, he moved fluidly between plays, novels, poetry, and screenwriting, always in service of exploring the redemptive possibilities of human connection.
