Who in the hell will read this? Cats are awake staring at me. Just watch a video performance by #AndreaGibson. She is gone now. Died of cancer. Ovarian, I think. Being 79, I am in that select group that can see death waiting somewhere ahead. I am painfully aware that I am mortal. Maybe, I shouldnt say that here. To younger generations mortality is academic. So is life. Well, thats how it is.

Today at Macalester's convocation, one of the speakers mentioned the Andrea Gibson poem "What Sucks About the Afterlife" and oh my, it is a lovely, lovely poem:
https://breathoffreedompoetry.substack.com/p/what-sucks-about-the-afterlife-andrea
"On Earth, everyone loved butterflies,
but I trusted the caterpillars more.
I trusted the ones who knewthey were not done growing.
On Earth, I was a work in prograss,
was comforted in knowingthat I had a million mistakes still in me
to learn from." -
Nothing had ever hit me quite like Andrea’s voice did that night.
Their poems packed so much fiery, tender truth. The way they wrote about love, pain, queerness, and survival was equal parts gentle and fierce. Political without losing intimacy, intimate without losing bite.

Andrea Gibson Dies: Poet Featured In Award-Winning 2025 Sundance Documentary Was 49

😢 Poet #AndreaGibson, candid explorer of life, death and identity, dies at 49
By HANNAH SCHOENBAUM and Hillel Italie
Updated 8:10 PM EDT, July 14, 2025"Andrea Gibson, a celebrated #poet and #Performanceartist who through their verse explored #GenderIdentity, politics and their 4-year battle with terminal ovarian cancer, died Monday at age 49.
"Gibson’s death was announced on social media by their wife, Megan Falley. Gibson and Falley are the main subjects of the documentary 'Come See Me in the Good Light,' winner of the Festival Favorite Award this year at the Sundance Film Festival and scheduled to air this fall on Apple TV+.
" 'Andrea Gibson died in their home (in Boulder, Colorado) surrounded by their wife, Meg, four ex-girlfriends, their mother and father, dozens of friends, and their three beloved dogs,' Monday’s announcement reads in part.
"The film — exploring the couple’s enduring love as Gibson battles cancer — is directed by Ryan White and includes an original song written by Gibson, Sara Bareilles and Brandi Carlile. During a screening at Sundance in January that left much of the audience in tears, Gibson said they didn’t expect to live long enough to see the documentary."

"Instead of Depression by Andrea Gibson
try calling it hibernation. Imagine the darkness is a cave in which you will be nurtured by doing absolutely nothing. Hibernating animals don't even dream. It's okay if you can't imagine spring. Sleep through the alarm of the world. Name your hopelessness a quiet hollow, a place you go to heal, a den you dug, Sweetheart, instead of a grave."
— Andrea Gibson: You Better Be Lightning, p. 32

Inspired by the #AndreaGibson #poem "Things That Don’t Suck" I decided to compile my own list of big and small gratitudes:
Cream soda. Pen pal letters. Weekend mornings. Typewriters. Street art. Roasting marshmallows. Pretty rocks. Really soft blankets. Cats. Sun showers. Pinball machines. Pumpkin patches. Birthday cake. Starling murmurations. Book stores. Bounce houses. Bubble wrap. Spring breezes. The northern lights. #Gratitude itself.
