This is Gibson's best work to date. It's healing, funny and oh so gay. My copy of Lord Of The Butterflies has been through it, so I'm excited I found something new to obsess with.

Where I come from, you can drive
a pick up truck from one side
of the lake to the other, and people
have an usually high quantity

of missing teeth and fingers,
but you can still count on them
to buy whitening strips and wedding rings

because where I come from
beauty is in the eye of anyone who sees
what's missing and can't stop pointing

to what's still there.
It there's no definition for love yet -
I think that's a good one.

Wow. This is an absolutely STUNNING poetry collection. Andrea Gibson has immediately become one of my favourite poets with this collection alone. It's such an amazing collection of queer life and I highly recommend EVERYONE to read it.
