I Would Have Never Done It to You

by Michaela Angemeer

From queer Canadian poet and best-selling author Michaela Angemeer comes a heartbreakingly honest new poetry collection about friendship and romantic.

I Would Have Never Done It to You is separated into three Spite, Deceit, and Truth. The book of poems and prose delves into betrayal, patterns you can’t quite shake, breaking your own heart, learning the difference between being nice and being kind, and harnessing bravery to tell the truth.

120 pages, Kindle Edition

As with lots of collections some poems hit a lot harder than others but maybe because of my current mental state of mind the poems that are hitting are just nailing it haaaard.
