Summary
A queer, political, and feminist collection guided by self-reflection. The poems range from close examination of the deeply personal to the vastness of the world, exploring the expansiveness of the human experience from love to illness, from space to climate change, and so much more in between. 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.
Formatted Contents Note
Acceptance speech after setting the world record in goosebumps
The year of no grudges, or instead of writing a furious text, I try a poem
The museum of broken relationships
Time piece
Queer youth are five times more likely to die by suicide
No such thing as the innocent bystander
To whom it definitely concerns,
Every time I ever said I want to die
Instead of depression
What love is
Homesick: a plea for our planet
The day Prince died
My gender is the undoing of gender
Spelling bee without stinger
The night shift
Love me to life
Love letter to the tick that got me sick
After the break-up, our tandem bike speaks:
Neighbors
Note to the stranger six feet away:
Good grief
The call, option 1
The call, option 2
What can't be taken
The test of time
Aliens explain why they are visiting Earth
Constellations rearrange themselves into a protest sign
Climate change
Wellness check
My girlfriend's karaoke song
What you wish you'd said to the high school guidance counselor
What sucks about the afterlife
How the worst day of my life became the best
Life sentence
Not alone
How I became a poet
See this through
The last hours.
