NPR Tiny Desk Contest 2023 - Andrea Gibson - MAGA HAT IN THE CHEMO ROOM

Details

Description

I wrote this piece at the end of treatment last year. Though there's a lot of humor in the poem, it speaks to the many emotions that surfaced while watching people with wildly different politics than my own navigate illness and mortality in the chairs right beside me. Thank you for watching, everyone. *All identifying details in the poem have been altered to respect the privacy of fellow patients.
Love, Andrea
