A modern poetic take from a devoted man’s perspective. A collection of poems on noticing the little things, reminders through hard times, rising above, and persevering with self confidence in strife. 

I had the opportunity to read the ARC copy through NetGalley in return for an honest review. I’m pleasantly surprised that quite a few poems stuck out to me. This is the third book of Jeanty’s HER series, but my first time reading his works. I read through this in one sitting, devoured it quickly, and by the end I felt empowered and seen. 

This collection can be read by anyone, although how the words effect each gender may be different, and some pieces may push you to think outside of your box. Pieces on really listening and observing, how to serve yourself and how to communicate in order to serve your person in a relationship, to be vulnerable and see where it leads. 

My only downfall was I had a hard time with the cadence in a few of the poems, but there were far more that left a good impression on me than bad. 

Worth picking up if you love modern poetry, need empowering words through hardship, or want to learn how to be a more present and engaged partner to your person. 

One that is sure to find you when you need it most, like all poetry does.

men in her past long after she has left.”
