An award-winning poet and LGBTQ+ activist is heading to Glasgow next week for a rare spoken word performance.
Andrea Gibson, winner of the first ever Women of the World Poetry Slam in 2008, will be on stage at the Oran Mor on Monday night (May 20).
Known as one of the most captivating artists in the spoken word poetry scene today, Gibson has authored four full-length collections of poems, an illustrated book of their most memorable quotes (Take Me With You, Penguin 2018), and released seven albums.
Their newest literary triumph, Lord of the Butterflies, is an artful and nuanced look at gender, romance, loss, and family - as well as being a book of protest.

While rioting against gun violence, homophobia, and white supremacy, Gibson celebrates gender expansion, queer love, and the will to stay alive.
Regularly selling out 500+ capacity standing room only venues to eager audiences, mouthing along every word, and creating a space for each person in the room to feel, and to heal, Gibson's emotive appearances are not to be missed.
