Andrea Gibson is awesome. I fell for them and their partner Megan after hearing them on Glennon Doyle’s We Can Do Hard Things podcast and I’m so glad to have read more of their work in You Better Be Lightning. My favorite poems in the collection are:
Acceptance Speech After Setting the World Record in Goosebumps
Every Time I Ever Said I Want to Die
What Love Is
The Day Prince Died
My Gender is the Undoing of Gender
The Night Shift
Love Letter to the Tick that Got Me Sick
The Test of Time
See This Through

I won an ARC on Goodreads. Thanks Button Poetry!
I love Andrea’s voice and style. I used to watch their videos on YouTube and read their book Lord of the Butterflies a few months ago. These are beautiful, honest poems. Some of the topics in these poems overlap with poems in Lord of the Butterflies, but bring a different perspective.
