Lord of the Butterflies

Berätta för mig när boken läggs till

Andrea Gibson’s latest collection is a masterful showcase from the poet whose writing and performances have captured the hearts of millions. With artful and nuanced looks at gender, romance, loss, and family, Lord of the Butterflies is a new peak in Gibson’s career. Each emotion here is deft and delicate, resting inside of imagery heavy enough to sink the heart, while giving the body wings to soar. **

Citat

Theodore Maurice August "Vanderboom" Scarlethar citerati fjol
It was so bright

I could feel the freckles

on my 15-year-old face

warming in its glow.

I could feel hope

traveling backward

to find us,

to whisper into our chests,

There will be music for you

one day.

Theodore Maurice August "Vanderboom" Scarlethar citerati fjol
The first time in my life I’d ever rested,

the first time I didn’t have to play a role

I’d never really wanted to get.

That’s the medicine it is

to be finally seen by someone.

I’d crack a smile and you’d point to my chest

and say, What just broke?

Theodore Maurice August "Vanderboom" Scarlethar citerati fjol
but a wise heart told me

it’s the most tender part

of queerness—how we’ve all lost

so much family when we find people

we call family, we’ll do almost anything

to not let go.
