Andrea Gibson is one of my favorite spoken word poets, and while it is nice to be able to read their words, I have to say that they are better consumed as a performance. There's something about how they deliver their own words that brings what's written on the page to the next level. 

That said, I am not great at reading poetry. Those who read a lot of poetry may enjoy the written stanzas much more than I did. Regardless of how you consume Andrea's poems, there's no denying that they are a talented writer and have a way of taking the every day mundane things that make up life seem magical. 

To that end, I think my favorite poem in the collection was "Acceptance Speech After Setting the World Record in Goosebumps."
