pickI thought I didn‘t much care for poetry and then I read this collection. This book was so beautiful, emotional, self-reflective, and inspiring. I truly loved it. At the back of the book, the about the author note reads “Their work strives to be a lifeline to the lonely, a megaphone in spaces of dangerous silence, and a permission slip to feel it all.”
This collection is so heartfelt and beautiful. I‘m so sad I came to their work so late. Out of trauma and adversity (in many forms), comes growth and healing leaving the reader with a hopeful and compassionate self-reflection. I‘m loving this so far.
pickGibson is not a favorite of mine lyrically or formally but there is so much feeling baked into these poems that I understand why they resonate with folks as they do. Lovely work if not always my thing.
so-soI almost want to give this a pick. I don‘t know why. It has some problematic parts, some of which actually damage women (can we please burn “herstory” to the ground already! Actual women in the field are harmed by this term, thank you). She seems to have no clue what most people mean when referring to the “c-word” (she uses it when referring to the word crone). 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
When you hear “the c-word,” what do you think of!

“Herstory” - not a strong start

pickI absolutely adore Gibson‘s poetry. It‘s joyful and fierce and vulnerable and bursting with love.
