21/25 Andrea Gibson - "How It Ends" @ Capturing Fire, Washington, DC 3/08/10

Andrea Gibson was the winner of the 2008 Women of the World Poetry Slam (Detroit) and has placed 3rd in the world for the last three years by the iWPS. She won a DIY Poetry Book of the Year and was nominated for a Pushcart Prize for her first book, Pole Dancing to Gospel Hymns. She has been showcased on Free Speech TV, the documentary Slam Planet, NPR, Air America, and Independent Radio Stations nationwide. She has recorded four full-length albums of poetry, the most recent, "Yellowbird," features her poetry accompanied by piano, global drums, dobro, violin, and music by Kim Taylor, Chris Pureka, and Devotchka. The Denver Westword has said, "If slamming were professional boxing, Andrea Gibson would be the lightweight you didn't think much of until she's knocked you flat on your ass." www.andreagibson.org


Sol Y Soul and 3Word Productions are proud to announce Capturing Fire. Capturing Fire is a Queer Spoken Word Summit and Slam. This slam will be the first of its kind, and open to all local and national GLBTQ performance artists. -- The mission of this event is to increase the visibility and exposure of GLBTQ performance artists. Capturing Fire aims to bring more credibility and awareness to the specific and diverse experiences of queer artists. In a time where Prop 8 exists, what better time and place then to hold this summit in the Nation's capital, as an act of celebration, resistance, and inspiration for change. -- The summit will culminate in a poetry slam, after two days of performance and writing workshops, panels and networking.

I have watched this once or twice a day since my lover and i broke up. It's been almost a year. I listen to this everyday and I still feel like crying. I am a straight male who misses his lover. =/
