Andrea Gibson’s poetry is a true gift to the world. I can’t think of a writer who has impacted me than them. Their literary genius, their way of seeing the world, — they are lightning. This, like all of their work, is a flawless compilation of written word. At times funny, many times relatable, sometimes sad, this is a stunning and powerful book that I implore every queer, depressed, and/or generally reflective human grappling with existentialism (lol) to read.
