About this Event

Bitches With Books - an Edinburgh book club for anyone who identifies as an LGBTQ+ woman.

In March we will be discussing 'Lord of the Butterflies' by Andrea Gibson:

' Andrea Gibson is an award-winning poet and activist who lives in Boulder, Colorado. Their poetry focuses on gender norms, politics, social reform and the struggles LGBTQ people face in today's society. In addition to using poetry to express what they feel and provide social and political commentary on real issues, they are involved with many activist groups. They often perform at Take Back the Night events, LGBTQ events, pride events, trans events, anti-war rallies, peace rallies, organizations against the occupation of Palestine, and groups focused on examining the wrongs of capitalism, patriarchy and white supremacy.

With artful and nuanced looks at gender, romance, loss, and family, Lord of the Butterflies is a new peak in Gibson's career. Each emotion here is deft and delicate, resting inside of imagery heavy enough to sink the heart, while giving the body wings to soar.'

We have a table booked from 6.30pm at Kilderkin on Canongate - book chat starts at 7pm. Please only sign up if you can make the date. Hope to see you then!
