We Will Be Shelter: Poems for Survival is a contemporary poetry anthology edited by Andrea Gibson. Positioned at the intersection of literature and activism, the book gathers poems that confront social justice concerns such as queer identity, gender norms, violence, mental health, and political resistance. Its purpose is not only aesthetic but also practical: the collection links poetry to real-world engagement by pairing poems with brief notes about the writers and organizations connected to the issues they raise. That structure makes the book distinct from a standard anthology, since it invites readers to move from reflection to action. The tone is raw, direct, and emotionally charged, but the curatorial design gives the book a clear civic function. It is aimed at readers who value poetry as a form of survival, witness, and social intervention, especially those interested in contemporary spoken-word and activist writing.
