A Thousand and One Separate Heavens

Oldspeak is open 10AM-10PM

Andrea Gibson books will be available for purchase and copies of ROV zines will also be available.

Andrea Gibson was such an amazing human and poet. They wrote poems to make you laugh, to make you cry, to make you feel courageous, to make you love, to make you soft, and that did all of those things and more in a beautiful bundle of words gifted to us all.

Let's celebrate that again. Why again? In all honesty, ROV's #1 Andrea Gibson fan missed the last one because of flight issues, but also there were a lot of people who wanted more, and there are so so many more poems by Andrea to be shared. So please, come share in the special way only you can. Whatever courage you can muster and words you can speak will surely make Andrea (and all of us) proud.

From Andrea's poem Elbows

"Learning 'Brave' is a hand me down suit from terrified-as-hell

Dress me in whatever will get me to the door of my heart

Get my faith in us under your skin

Hold my stubborn in the palm of your free

Tell whoever is sitting beside you tonight

Thank God you never got braces

Your bite looks like a city skyline

I bet you leave that kind of mark on this world"
