Like a hit to the heart, Gibson's poems illuminate and destroy.

Thank you Elaysa for recommending and lending me this collection! My first of Andreas work, ironically right after they died. I really enjoyed this read, specifically I liked the long poem story format, felt more digestible than a smaller, opaque piece. But there’s definitely a lot of millennial kind of turns of phrase that are super overused and cheesy and uninteresting for me. But the heart is there!
