Take Me with You by Andrea Gibson

Pride Month 2018 Read #7

The perfect example that size doesn't matter. 

So much is packed into this little (197 pages and pocket size) book. It weighs more than many thousand page books. 

Andrea Gibson's Take Me With You is in three sections, On Love, On The World, On Becoming. Each section, heck on almost each page, I thought I would share that poem with you as an example...so I had to narrow it down...to these two, which I hope will make you want more:

I WILL

NEVER

MAKE A

PINATA 

OF YOUR

HEART.

And:

YOU ARE

THE BEST

THING

THAT HAS

EVER

HAPPENED

TO YOU.

OK, I lied, here is one more:

YOU 

WILL

NEVER

HAVE

TO

LOSE

YOURSELF

TO

WIN

ME

OVER.

Gibson writes in a way that shouted to my heart is whispers and bangs. I will be reading this many times as I absorb all the honey and lemon in her words. Get yourself a copy and read it too.
