Praise for Andrea Gibson and Take Me With You
“Surprising and powerful.”—The Millions
“Andrea Gibson’s work is imbued with the unfettered honesty and beautifully rendered language that made them a pioneer in the spoken word community. Their work does not apologize for existing at the intersections. It holds complicated truths together and rejects the false choice of artist or activist. In many ways, my work is only possible because of theirs, and we are so fortunate that they continue to create art and put it out into the world.”—Clint Smith
“Gibson is a truly American poet, or rather, they represent the America I want to live in. Their work lights a candle to lead us where we need to go.”—Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz, author of Dr. Mütter’s Marvels
“Take Me With You provides readers a glimpse into their inner-musings in…bite-sized pieces.”—Queen Mob’s Tea House
“Gibson does not just show up to pluck your heart strings. They stick around to tune them. If being floored is new to you, ya might want to grab a cushion. Whatever the opposite of fooling someone is, Andrea does that. Beware of the highway in their grace and the crowbar in their verse.”—Buddy Wakefield, author of Gentleman Practice
“Gibson’s work is at once deeply haunting and profoundly inspiring. Their words cut so sharply and completely they cannot be shaken. To call them one of the best poets is a gross understatement. They are a rare artist who forever changes those who experience their poems.”—Carlos Andrés Gómez, author of Man Up
“I have the luxury of being friends and working with some of the greatest writers out there today…love, love, love… poet Andrea Gibson.”—Tig Notaro
“Fans of Rupi Kaur need not look any further.”—Elite Daily
“Gibson contributes to an art raw in emotions, an art that delivers poignant messages on gender, spirituality, war, love, bullying, class. These words have the power to move and enlighten.”—Curve
“Gibson works to support the voices that are unspoken and unheard, by imbibing in them the faith that they are never alone.”—Eyezine
“Unique energy and charisma….Inspiring.”—Julie Marie Wade, The Rumpus
“Whether winning awards as an artist, breaking ground as an activist, or patching the wounds of their adoring fans’ hearts through verse, Gibson has somehow managed to maintain their starry-eyed wonder at romance and their optimism about love.”—Outsmart
“Right when readers think it’s okay to breathe, Gibson subtly deflates their lungs, and then blows air back into them with the poet’s sincere vision of a better world.”—Jocelyn Marshall, Bellingham Review
