YOU BETTER BE LIGHTNING -SIGNED COPIES AVAILABLE
You Better Be Lightning by Andrea Gibson is a queer, political, and feminist collection guided by self-reflection.

One of the most celebrated poets and performers of the last two decades, Andrea Gibson’s trademark honesty and vulnerability are on full display in You Better Be Lightning, welcoming and inviting readers to be just as they are.
