Lord of the Butterflies by Andrea Gibson

5.0

Absolutely beautiful collection of poems by Andrea Gibson. I was originally interested in the book because of the interesting cover and the description of "queer poetry", and it totally exceeded my expectations (as I have not read Gibson's work before this).
This collection of poems is so much more than just the queer perspective, its raw emotions and heartfelt voices create such a punch as I read it. Some of my favourite themes are America, self-acceptance/self-love, depression, romance.
Truth knows everybody's dark side / is daytime somewhere.
Thanks to Netgalley and Button Poetry for allowing me to read the ARC!
