"Queer youth are five times more likely to: offer to walk their younger siblings home from school. To notice the different accents of sparrows. To find an eyelash and spend twenty minutes trying to pick what to wish for."

andrea gibson's poetry is very special to me. my wife took me to see her perform at a little venue in our college town when we were undergraduate babies and only dating. i was blown away and i'm pretty sure i sobbed almost the entire time in between sips of a room-temperature PBR.

my favorite poem from this collection is "Queer Youth are Five Times More Likely to Die by Suicide".

These hit hard and fast.  “What Love Is” had me riveted one moment and full on sobbing the next. Every poem in here is 5 stars. This collection is a masterpiece and Andrea Gibson is talented beyond words.
