I know, I know, it's not in its entirety...my camera likes to switch modes on me, so that explains everything.

"The day my ribcage became monkey-bars for a girl hanging on my every word."

Beautiful, I loved this. :D

@PhoenixImmortal18 It's absolutely beautiful--sometimes I wonder how she strings together these words to make such beautiful, beautiful lines. :)

amazing, amazing, amazing. it's so great to hear new poems from her. i hope you're right and she does release another album soon!

[laurenwhite1987]

@gutlessandcute I get my information from the source directly :) According to her latest mailing list email, the new book and recording are in the works. Now we can all rejoice. :)

this poem has some of my favorite lines by her that aren't in her book or on her CD's. i saw them on her twitter before i saw this. eeeeee. :D she is amazing.

[laurenwhite1987]

@HelloSideshow Well, you may be in luck when it comes to having the lines in book or audio form. She's set to release another album at the end of this year, and she's working on a second book! So, fear not! :) I'm glad you're able to enjoy the lines (and her) so much; she's a brilliant, brilliant soul.

I look forward to the day she comes to the UK. I would love to see her perform. There's something about Andrea Gibson - whatever I feel, she can always explain it better than I ever could. If I have a soul, she makes it ache with beauty.

@thandie1985 Agreed--such a brilliant mind!
