Andrea Gibson mines her own traumas and challenges as a queer woman in a heteronormative and misogynistic culture to find deep heartfelt beauty. This new collection further solidifies her growing reputation as a poet and performer who brings authenticity and enlightenment to the world.

[I received an advanced e-galley of this book through Netgalley. The book will be released November 9.]

There were a few poems in particular that struck me in terms of connection, familiarity, truth, and also sense of humor. Looking forward to reading again more slowly or with repetition of poems before moving onto the next.
