Description

"I still haven’t figured out how to keep / my shower floor clean or make morning / smoothies or respond to stress calmly. / Same, same, same my friends tell me, a love note of sorts."

The debut collection from beloved Instagram poet @hannahrowrites, Same is a celebration of one thing we all have in common: a desire to be seen and understood. With her artful blend of intuitive and wise insights, Hannah’s observations resonate with readers across multiple life stages—girlhood, marriage, motherhood and beyond. Centering friendship and connection, her poems are filled with the kind of recognizable, intimate details described by a relatable, honest voice that make readers nod along and instantly want to share with someone they love.

In a world that often aims to make women feel smaller, Same offers an unparalleled feeling of visibility and validation, and a reminder that not only are we not alone, but we’re also all in this together.

"I still haven’t figured out how to keep / my shower floor clean or make morning / smoothies or respond to stress calmly. / Same, same, same my friends tell me, a love note of sorts."

Wow, what a great collection of poetry by Hannah Rosenberg! I requested this book because 1. I love poetry, and 2. The cover art is beautiful. Her words were so perfect and insightful. As a woman and a mom, they held so much truth and meaning for me. I especially enjoyed the sections about her daughter.
Thank you, NetGalley for the chance to read Same.

I’ve followed Hannah on instagram for sometime so I knew I’d enjoy this! There’s something special about reading these poems in book format as opposed to on instagram. I had to stop highlighting because I would have just done the whole book!

I cried at several as they hit me right in the feels. This one to keep on your shelf and read when you need a little boost or to feel your feelings.

This would make a great gift for a friend or new mom!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

“Same” is a beautifully written and relatable compilation of poetry that had me crying on page one. Hannah Rosenberg writes poems that express love for life, relationships and ourselves. I enjoy reading poetry like this to reflect on my own life and experiences through someone else’s curation of words and imagery.

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for thr opportunity to read this ARC.

I really loved this collection of poetry—the ways Rosenberg explores love, especially that of female friendships, is so healing and playful and compassionate. A great set of modern poems.

Hannah Rosenberg's poems have always been a balm in my life for the many years I have followed her on social media. When I heard she was publishing a book of poems, I was beside myself with excitement! I am happy to report that the compilation of works she has put together are just as touching and special as always. I love how there is a section for every milestone of life, every thought or feeling of being a woman, of being human. This is the kind of book that speaks to you no matter what life has to offer you in that moment. It reminds us to be kind to ourselves, to hold tight to our precious friendships, to remember that we are all just doing our best. I especially loved this book of poetry because it made me considers others and got me thinking about what friend I could gift this book to, bookmarking the poem that reminded me of them with a little note saying "start here dear, with love".

Raw and beautiful. I totally understand the hype already surrounding Hannah Rosenberg and her ability to pull emotions through words. I felt a sense of womanhood and motherhood with the beauty of human connection. Well done and will be recommending this book and purchasing a copy for my own collection.

thank you to netgalley and author hannah rosenberg especially for this wonderful poetry anthology.

i have grown tired of a lot of modern poetry, with the same tropes in every poem, the same style. this though? best poetry book i have read in a very very long time.

the book covers raw feelings of parenthood, struggles with feelings of inadequacy, being a human in the modern world (screams).

fabulous read.

First off, a big thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin’s Press, and Hannah Rosenberg for the ARC of Same in exchange for an honest review!

Wow—this poetry collection hit me right in the heart. Same is one of those books that makes you feel understood on such a deep level, you find yourself nodding along, teary-eyed, thinking yes, exactly this. Hannah Rosenberg has such a gift for capturing the quiet, powerful moments that make up a woman’s life—especially the kind of life that juggles being a mother, a partner, a friend, and still, somehow, a self.

As a 34-year-old married mom of three, I found myself in these poems over and over again. Rosenberg doesn’t shy away from the messy parts—exhaustion, identity shifts, the ache of wanting to be everything for everyone while still trying to hold on to who you are. She writes about the relationships we have with our children, our spouses, our bodies, our younger selves—and she does it with such clarity, gentleness, and truth.

There were so many moments that made me pause and reread a line just to sit with it a little longer. And yes, I definitely wiped away more than a few tears. The beauty in Same lies in its simplicity—its honest reflection of everyday life and how profoundly sacred that everyday-ness can be.

This collection is perfect for anyone navigating womanhood, motherhood, and all the in-between spaces. I really, really enjoyed this one, and I can already tell it’s a book I’ll return to again and again.

An emotional punch to the gut that I inhaled! Poetry is difficult to rate, but this one is without a doubt, 5 stars. I loved the pace, simplicity, and how provocative the poems were. While I did "inhale" it, it actually took me several weeks to get through because I kept going back and re-reading sections before wanting to move on. Loved it and will absolutely get a physical copy when it's published!

This is my favorite book of poetry. Gets to the very heart and core of motherhood but also being a wife and a friend. I bookmarked so many poems, it was practically the entire book. I will be purchasing 2 on release day and marking up a copy to give to my best friend.

Rosengberg’s anthology of poems are separated into sections and seasons of life. I love how we are taken through these seasons along side her and feel her experiences even if they do not relate to our own.

Rosengberg’s voice is a beautiful addition to the poetic world and I am so thankful to have been able to read this book.

Hannah’s bright and honest voice traces out love in all of life’s corners, from friendships to your inner-child, from parenting to the care of your own capable physical body.

This collection of poems encapsulates the relative feelings of female friendship, marriage, motherhood, and self-celebration.

I love the cover design, even more having finished the book and grasping the connections within the illustration and color choices.

This would be a great gift for a mother in your life!
