You Better Be Lightning by Andrea Gibson

3.0

In this collection of poetry, Andrea Gibson showcases their inspiring ability to find beauty in some of the darkest and most complex aspects of life. Touching on subjects like sickness, abuse, and gender, Gibson gives readers a new way of looking at the world that can leave them with both a sense of peace and yearning.

It’s hard to review a collection of poetry, because some pieces will speak to you, some won’t, and some may just need to find you at a different time in your life.

There were a few pieces that really resonated for me with a few favorites being “The tick that made me sick” and “The call option 1 &2”.

If you’re looking for a quick read with a lot to offer, check out this poet’s work.
