Andrea Gibson is not gentle with their truths. It is this raw fearlessness that has led them to the forefront of the spoken word movement – the first winner of the Women's World Poetry Slam. Gibson has headlined prestigious performance venues coast to coast with powerful readings on war, class, gender, bullying, white privilege, sexuality, love, and spirituality.

Gibson's work has been featured on the BBC, Air America, C-SPAN, Free Speech TV and in 2010 was read by a state representative in lieu of morning prayer at the Utah State Legislature.

Now, on their fifth full-length album, Flower Boy, and their second book, The Madness Vase, Gibson's poems continue to be a rally cry for action and a welcome mat at the door of the heart's most compassionate room.
