I loved this so much. I don’t usually read poetry but this inspired me to read more of it.

Having lived, having loved, having crawled back so many times from death solely to keep loving... what a big heart, what a beautiful gift to share. Thank you, Andrea.

Thank you to NetGalley and Button Poetry for providing me with an advanced copy of in exchange for an honest review.
I’ve long been a fan of Andrea Gibson, I remember sitting in my child bedroom waiting for my mind boggling slow dial-up internet to load their videos on Youtube- even before I knew I was gay. I remember the first time I listened to Gibson’s “Orlando” in 2016, not even aware that I was crying until my hands reached up and touched my face.
This collection is precisely what one expects from Gibson: heartfelt, raw, and profound. Their voice is clear and distinct you can hear them speaking each line of each and every poem. Gibson tackles climate change, mental illness, queerness, love, and everything in between honestly and lyrically. Whether poetry is your thing, or it is not, give this a try. At the very least, you can brag you’re reading poetry at your next office happy hour. At the very most, Gibson will put words to the feelings and thoughts you can’t even describe yourself.

Andrea Gibson’s work has been a constant source of inspiration and catharsis to me. The way they use poetics to convey just about every emotion in one poem is so incredibly well done, and something you don’t see all that often these days. Gibson is a treasure of a poet and I’m so grateful their work exists. This collection was incredible. And to answer the question on page 88: no.
