Monday’s Lowdown: Poet/Activist Andrea Gibson (VIDEO)

It will take me a few more years to learn flying is not pushing away the ground.

 Safety isn’t always safe.

 You can find one on every gun.

 I am aiming to do better.

The words above belong to award-winning poet and activist Andrea Gibson who takes the stage at the Kate Buchanan Room at HSU Monday night to read selections from her newest book Pansy. Gibson’s work aims to challenge gender norms and highlights the struggles LGBTQIA people still face. 

Tonight’s spoken word performance is free. Check out a selection from Pansy in the clip below, or peruse Monday’s Lowdown listings farther down.
