Love is not what it seems, especially afterward. In three distinct phases, this collection of poetry explores what it means to explore love after it is over. From reminiscing on lost love to moving on, Post-You will guide you through the process of falling out of love.
Shelby Ann published their first poetry collection, Post-You, in 2020 and is currently working on their debut novel. As a lifelong academic, Shelby writes essays analyzing novels, manga, and video games under the name InvestiGeek (www.investigativegeek.com).
Post-You felt very personal , like I was seeing straight into the thought process of the author going through all these emotions. I really liked the progression of denial, to hate, to acceptance. The book really follows that pattern as the first poem felt the least hopeful while the last felt most hopeful.
