Description
This emotionally resonant collection explores love, loss, family, politics, mental health, gender, and queer identity with striking intimacy and compassion. Andrea Gibson’s poems move between grief and hope, examining how exposure to the world’s cruelty can reshape innocence while still making room for wonder, desire, resilience, and joy. Rich in vivid imagery and deeply attuned to the body, these poems transform personal pain into communal recognition and healing. A powerful showcase of Gibson’s celebrated performance-poetry style, the collection is both tender and urgent, offering readers wings without looking away from what weighs the heart down.
