S8: E26 Hannah Tool & Julie Murphy Celebrate Andrea Gibson

In this episode of The Hive Poetry Collective, host Hannah Tool and fellow Hive member Julie Murphy dig into the work of Andrea Gibson in a conversation that touches on Gibson’s penchant for radical vulnerability, their humor and love of bright detail, and the way their body of work begs readers to “feel it all.” Plus, giraffes and aliens! This discussion of selected poems from Gibson’s final collection “You Better Be Lightening” (2021 Button Poetry) celebrates the way that they championed how we can unrelentingly love other people, and ourselves. Listen to Julie’s discussion with Grayson Thompson, where they discuss Gibson’s poem “Loveletter from the Afterlife” here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2EgTWprOCxcaPaSpG1y4K1?si=74c8d7af698b4cd3 and explore more of Gibson’s work and legacy at www.andreagibson.org
