He received a Lambda Literary Award for his collection of poems Sky Lounge (Graywolf Press, 2003), and was awarded a 2005 Poetry Fellowship from the New York Foundation for the Arts.

Bibbins's second book of poetry, The Dance of No Hard Feelings (Copper Canyon Press, 2009) "takes much of its subject matter and its attitude from life in George W. Bush's America … These poems are made powerful by the bitter energy of a voice not silenced but made to sound ridiculous in a political culture in which disagreement with the government is unpatriotic."[1]

His most recent book of poetry, They Don't Kill You Because They're Hungry, They Kill You Because They're Full [2](Copper Canyon Press, 2014) is a thorny spirited examination of power, sexuality, and gender.

He currently teaches in the graduate writing programs at The New School, where he co-founded LIT magazine, and Columbia University. He lives in New York.
