Andrea Gibson

The Nutritionist // Andrea Gibson

Crab Apple Pirates // Andrea Gibson
                        


     As soon as I'm not entirely and wholly too broke to buy books, I'm buying all of Andrea Gibson's anthologies.  I discovered her work a few days ago and I've literally been unable to stop myself from watching videos of her performances.  Her words are so powerful, the way her voice shakes and her body's enveloped by emotion.  You can tell how important all of these little stories are to her, how much they mean.  This is how I want my poetry to be; not something written, something lived.
