This week on July 14th, a flower was taken from the world’s bouquet of poets as Andrea Gibson passed from this world into the next. Their life and poetry have touched our tradition, from coffee shop poetry slams to our reading the poem “Ashes” every year at Trans Day of Visibility. This Sunday, let us honor these ashes, indulge in poems, and reflect upon the powerful love that made up the powerful life of Andrea Gibson.
