"Our experience of gender is so influenced by language. When you're writing you're creating all this new language around something. The listener gets to experience gender in a new way."

Gibson, who grew up not feeling quite like a girl or a boy, subtly defines what it means to be genderqueer with visual snippets within the poem. For example, with the line, "You're happiest on the road when you're not here or there, but in between." This particular line came to Gibson while constantly touring the country this past year.

"I remember when someone handed me the word genderqueer. I had never heard that word before. I heard that word and then I knew myself better. That's what writing can do," they explained. "It can make us know ourselves better, and know others better."
