Description
Stunning, laden with the clarity reflection on mortality brings, Gibson’s poetry inspires hope, resonating with the soul.
In this posthumous collection, Andrea Gibson’s writing explores the beauty of life amid the reality of death. Written between the time of Gibson’s ovarian cancer diagnosis and their death four years later, Dying is the Opposite of Leaving is brimming with poetry filled with hope, clarity, and the perspective mortality brings.
Infused with the stunning craft and beautiful expertise Gibson brings to poetry, this book tugs at the heart with painful reality, but it is not a book about pain. It is a celebration of the full life we are all called to live. It asks us to see the beauty of all that life has to offer and to choose to make the most of it.
