Poet's Poignant Final Farewell: A Moving Documentary on Living with Cancer

In July 2025, acclaimed American poet Andrea Gibson passed away at the age of 49 after a battle with cancer. However, Gibson's legacy lives on through the moving documentary "Come See Me In The Good Light," which captures the final chapter of her life.

The film follows Gibson and her wife, fellow poet Megan Falley, as they navigate the challenges of living with a terminal illness. Despite the devastating diagnosis, the documentary presents an uplifting and lyrical exploration of finding happiness in the face of mortality. Gibson's unique perspective as a poet lends a profound emotional depth to the film, as she grapples with her own mortality and the fragility of life.

Remarkably, Gibson was able to attend a screening of the documentary at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2025, just months before her passing. The film has since been praised for its raw honesty and ability to capture the profound bond between Gibson and Falley as they confront the reality of Gibson's impending death. "My story is one about happiness being easier to find once we realise we do not have forever to find it," Gibson poignantly reflects, encapsulating the film's central message.
