TAKE ME WITH YOU
For readers of Rupi Kaur (Milk and Honey) and Atticus (Love Her Wild), a book small enough to carry with you, with messages big enough to stay with you, from one of the most quotable and influential poets of our time.
For readers of Rupi Kaur and Atticus, TAKE ME WITH YOU, illustrated throughout with evocative line drawings by Sarah Coleman (samples attached here), is small enough to fit in your bag, with messages that are big enough to wake even the sleepiest heart. Divided into three sections (love, the world, and becoming) of one liners, couplets, greatest hits phrases, and longer form poems—50% never before published—it has something for everyone, and will be placed in stockings, lockers, and the hands of anyone who could use its wisdom. Gibson explores themes of love, gender, politics, sexuality, family, and forgiveness with stunning imagery and a fierce willingness to delve into the exploration of what it means to heal and to be different in this strange age.
A genderqueer poet and activist, Andrea Gibson has proven to be one of the most quotable and influential contemporary poets of our time and has made a career at the forefront of the spoken word movement. They were the first winner of the Women’s World Poetry Slam and have headlined prestigious performance venues all over the country and abroad. Gibson regularly tours, performing their poetry which focuses on gender norms, politics, social reform and the struggles LGBTQ people face in today's society. Their devoted fan base sees their work as a rally cry for action and a welcome mat at the door of the heart's most compassionate room.
Gibson’s biggest fan base is on YouTube, where many of their videos have 100,000+ views and some approach 1 million. You can see a video of one of Gibson’s poems here: http://bit.ly/1CWsFeA. Their website has additional information about their work: www.andreagibson.org.
