"There is no escaping the magic now.
Beauty caught me and never let me go." - Acceptance Speech After Setting The World Record in Goosebumps by A. Gibson 

A lovely collection of personal poetry/prose meant to inspire hope.

There is so much love, introspection, and beauty in this book; compassionate nuance is foundational to to Gibson's writing. I'm in awe of their metaphors, the creative ways they frame the complex and mundanity. Their work is concise and clearly communicated, and it's a joy to reflect upon.
