Publisher's summary

Another masterful showcase from the poet whose writing and performances have captured the hearts of millions. 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.

High emotions and great story telling

I really enjoyed listening to the sample provided, that I had to listen to the entire book. I loved it, I did get emotional a few times through it but completed it in one sitting. Thank you for this magnificent piece of art.

Amazingly honest brutally hilarious

Absolutely loved this book! Andrea Gibson has found a way for even an old gal like me find her in the LBGTQ community. Her wit her raw emotions all laid to bear for us.
