God, wonderful. Lots about this appeals to me. The poem "Every Time I Ever Said I Want to Die" made me tear up - I felt seen in the weight of my recent depression and mortality spiral.

"In addition to the straw,
I also have a slingshot that fires rock
bottoms directly at the sun until change
spills from its golden pockets --

that's how I got my hands on this
summer afternoon. We can do anything
with it. ..."

Oh my goodness I just started reading this book of poems, based on someone's recommendation. I knew nothing about Andrea. So I looked them up and am already saddened that there will be no more, since they died last year. I looked up some of the videos from their readings . I'm blown away.
