Commentary During Books Pole Dancing to Gospel Hymns

Andrea Gibson's dynamic and energetic first book, Pole Dancing to Gospel Hymns, challenges us to not only read, but to react. Hauntingly vivid, the poems march through a soldier's lingering psychological wounds, tackle the curious questions of school children on the meaning of "hate," and tangle with a lover's witty and vibrant description of longing. Gibson's poems deconstruct the current political climate through stunning imagery and careful crafting. With the same velocity, the poignant and vacillating love poems sweep the air out of the room. It's word-induced hypoxia. Pole Dancing to Gospel Hymns whispers with a bold and unforgettable internal voice rich with the kind of questioning that inspires action.

Evaluation Epithetical Books Pole Dancing to Gospel Hymns

Powerful and honest. An essential read for all, though very often not an easy one. Gibson captures moments of tenderness as well as brutality, and everything is shot through with an honesty about society as it stands. Poems about gender, love, violence, and an overwhelming optimism for surviving no matter what. I was able to read this in a day without fear that the poems might blur into one. They are distinctive: each is important, each is unique and each is powerful.It's hard to 'enjoy' moments

This book is magnificent in every sense of the word. I loved it and, even more than I did before, I love Andrea Gibson. I cannot really say much on it because I don't read a lot of poetry, so I have nothing really to compare this too, but I thoroughly enjoyed this. Please read this book. It's eye opening, in my opinion.

One of the most lyrical spoken words poets. Really good!

one of the most excellent things about reading through a poet's catalog is that you can watch their growth. Gibson wrecked me with these poems, as they always do--there were so many to pause over and chew through, to cry about or send to loved ones. you can hear them in these poems, the poet they were when they were written and the poet they have shown themself to be in Lord of the Butterflies. I think Gibson's later work is much stronger, but I only know that because I've read their work out of

I absolutely adore Andrea Gibson, but I do think her poetry works better performed than read off the page. I also noticed more than a few typos in the book, which was a little disappointing.

in this book, Andrea takes a sledgehammer to their emotions, to your emotions, and to society at large. They then invite the reader to look at the aftermath and find something beautiful in the wreckage. The subject matter of this book is heavy. The way it is written is shockingly human and deeply emotional. If you are looking to have your soul shaken up, I would highly recommend getting your hands on this work.
