Poet/Activist Andrea Gibson is coming to Cornell Friday, October 24, 2008 at 8:00pm!
Doors open at 7:30pm // free and open to the public // everyone is welcome RSVP on facebook Andrea Gibson is a queer poet/activist whose work deconstructs the foundations of the current political machine, highlighting issues such as patriarchy, gender norms, white-supremacy, and capitalist culture.
"Gibson is among the nation's most admired and emulated poets. Her verse is as once personal and political, concrete and abstract, feminist and
universal, filled with incinerating verbs and metaphor and delivered with gut-punching urgency." - Matt Peiken, Metaphor Media
She is a world renowned poet. This year, she won the first ever Women of the World Poetry Slam, has also won Denver's Grand Slam contest four times, and is consistently at the top of the ranks at the National Poetry Slam and Individual World Poetry Slam competitions.

Matters are complicated when her parents invite a plastic surgeon to visit who brings his teenage son, who is experiencing his own sexual confusion.
