You Better Be Lightning by Andrea Gibson

emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

This is the first time I've read Andrea Gibson's work and I do not have words to describe the depth of which this book touched me. It was recommended to me by a librarian friend and, despite having finished it, I haven't returned it and find myself returning to different poems and just sitting with them and letting them hit me in the best ways. 

I see so many of the issues I struggle with reflected so beautifully and tenderly in their words. There's no way for me to pick one poem that stands out because they all have such depth and power. 

I am looking forward to reading more of Andrea Gibson.
