Description

Self-made poet and social media sensation Pierre Jeanty has triumphed once again with his most recent collection, Apologies That Never Came. From words that never left your mouth to feelings you held on to, these words explore an unspoken space in heartbreak and pain, providing solace to the wounded soul. 

With massive social media followings and a loyal fan base, Jeanty is poised for great success for his sixth poetry collection entitled Apologies That Never Came. In this series of prose and poetry, both the words and sentiment are simple, uninterrupted by excess flair or complexity.

Apologies That Never Came dissects the agony of heartbreak and loss through the unexpressed words and feelings; what is left over at the end. While his poems and prose delve into pain, they ultimately transcend that heartbreak, awakening everyone's preexisting strength and capacity for growth. Much like in his previous collections, Jeanty has successfully created a tool for unity and healing out of the torment of his experiences.

Book 3 for April for poetry month

At first, by reading this title, I knew that this book of poems was not going to be a book that I thought would show me anything that I needed to see because I have been in a very happy relationship for years. However, I decided to keep an open mind in regards to the poetry and as I was reading it the poems made sense to me in relation to one of my current friend’s past relationship. I took a photo of 3 poems and sent them to my friend who said that she was looking for a sign today in regards to her past relationship. She said that those poems really hit her hard and made her think about what she actually wanted in her own life right now. So with that said, these poems do make sense for those people who are currently experiencing or have recently experienced heartbreak and are looking for a way to get themselves back to who they were before it (or who they can be now).

I really liked how the book was set up. I thought that the intro to each section with an apology from the author was heartfelt and then the poems after that short apology seemed to be about what the apology stated. I also thought that at the end of the section where he provided a quote of an issue and talked real for a moment about his own personal experience really added to his poetry.
I also loved the last page in which he ends with the apologies that never came for the readers.

Poems that I saved or liked as I was reading them are:
Role-play
Not so different
What’s Next
Happy for You

I am normally not a huge fan of poetry, but the description of this one drew me in. I really identified with the themes in the poems - as someone who suffers from anxiety and depression and has never really been lucky in love, a lot of them really struck a chord. Thank you for the ARC, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

"I am sick and tired of being the one who got away when I had every intention of staying."

Disclaimer: I received an advance digital copy of this poetry collection from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was the first poetry collection that I've read from Pierre Alex Jeanty, but boy it warmed my heart. There's something about his writing style that's so direct you wouldn't see the emotions coming. This might be a resounding theme on his previous works, and now I'm convinced I should get my hands on them.

Truly, Apologies that Never Came is a collection that makes you feel things, especially for those who is at a time of finding one's self. And if you're lucky, it might just stitch your heart back together again.

I really enjoyed the poetry and prose in this collection, although I enjoyed the poetry more and would have preferred the whole collection was poems. Jeanty tackles universal subjects such as loss, heartache, relationships falling apart and emotional pain. I could relate to a lot of the pieces in this collection. There is a lot of sadness and regret and pain in this collection. There is also hope as well; hope that no matter how bad things get it will work out in the end. I enjoyed every page.

Thanks to NetGalley, I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

This book struck me and left me bleeding from a wound which I thought was healed. It made me think all over again about my journey and helped me to realize that the wound caused by "Apologies That Never Came" is not yet healed but I have to let go of my anger for me not for them.
If you have the same experience I'm sorry that you never received the apology you deserved.

I'd love to thank Pierre Alex Jeanty, Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for this amazing book in exchange of an honest review!

First, I'd like to say that Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur was the first modern poetry book I've read and I loved it enormously! It was everything I needed in that moment. Then I had a few tries of reading poetry but it didn't worked out too well for me. But I didn't gave up on reading poetry! And then I found this book on NetGalley. The premise sounded exactly like what I was looking for, so I read it.

Let me tell you that this book made me smile, made me cry, made me feel peaceful towards the end! I will definitely buy this book in the paperback edition! These poems understand you and your crushed soul. Please, read this book! It's one of the greatest out there and you won't regret it!

There were poems with titles and then some parts where the author gave some apologies that never came from the people you wanted to hear these words from, like:

I am sorry that they awoke a flame in
you that they weren't ready to feed.
I am sorry that they've helped you find
the worst in you.
I am sorry that it's becoming harder to
find the best in you.
