ARC given by NetGalley for Honest Review

I want to preface this entire review with the fact that I only review books that I either enjoy the genre of or the type of lit that I personally write. I write and enjoy poetry. Please keep this in mind because I don't ever enjoy writing negative reviews.

From the beginning of the this book I was immediately hit with the ICK because he felt the need to include a preface about how he is not telling women how to act or be or feel. Bud, if you feel the need to put that in then maybe you should reflect on why women are interpreting your writing that way.
First and foremost, Jeanty is an entrepreneur. He uses pretty words to make money. Every single book in the HER collection lacks substance, nuance, and metaphor. Short form poetry or micro-poems are a legitimate writing form, but authors like Jeanty, Amanda Lovelace, and R.h. sihn have taken that and gone off the rails with lackluster, self-help, instagram quotes poorly disguised as such styles.

It's...frustrating. I hoped that in the 5 years between HER II and III that he would have developed his writing style into something a little more memorable.

If you want to point out what would go wrong when authors are trying to write about women, please do not pick up this book.

I do feel this compilation of poems is for the ones who are looking for something positive and something encouraging when we feel women aren’t treated right and they deserve a place like everyone else.

I find the writing good and simple. This simplicity in the expression is what matters most when reaching out to the younger generation and anyone in general who will feel understood and spoken for when it comes to empowering them when they read such books.

It’s okay to be not as “poetic” or “literary” when it comes to writing poetry. What matters is that the poetry is read and the messages get reached to the right audience.

I do feel that this collection is very important. Anyone can just pick up this book and read it thinking about their mothers, girlfriends, sisters, aunts, wives, friends. They will see everything what the author is trying to convey.

Love it.

This is a book that I wish my high school self had. This collection of poems introduces topics of self love, intimacy, relationships, friendship, communication, and even brief touches upon depression. These poems are similar to those from authors such as Rupi Kaur, Amanda Lovelace, and r.h. Sin. I enjoyed reading the poems, although I wish there was more cohesion when it came to the order of the poems.

One critique I have is that I felt like some poems were oddly specific and I knew I did not relate to them and found that other readers may not as well. For example, there was a poem strictly centered around a woman’s relation to God and how that guides her to find a man. As someone with a strained relationship with faith, I did not relate to this at all. This did not bother me, it was just something I could not relate to and I felt like it may be a sensitive topic for some. Just be mindful if you have strong views regarding your faith. There were some other instances of specific content that only some may relate to, I documented the one that stood out to me. Another thing I have noticed while reading this collection of poems, is that many of them discuss women and what the deserve as if it is being read by men. I feel like the content and target audience of this book do not match, which caused some disconnect for me personally. Although at the end, the author does leave a note for male readers which shows that there is some intention for men to read this.

Overall, I did enjoy this book and found a handful of poems to reflect back upon. If you are struggling through a break up, or are simply looking for some support through a self-love journey this is a great tool to have. For the right reader, I feel that this book contains meaningful poems to illustrate female emotions and experiences.

Thank you NetGalley for the advance review copy of this book in exchange for my honest review!

it’s not great but not bad

This poetry book is inspiring don’t get me wrong but it’s not something that is going to make you have that wow moment. This is my personal opinion on poetry books, many of them are a hit or miss for me but I will say if your looking for something that is about empowering women and empowering women to find the love that they deserve this is for you. Lastly I would like to say that I did enjoy parts of this book I just got bored in the middle of it but I think that happens often when it comes to poetry books.

I am literally sitting in the doctor's office and have started and finished reading this book in under 2 hours. I really can say that I appreciate the reminder of my worth as a woman. I've read all of the volumes in this series, and I will say that Pierre Alex Jeanty never disappoints. This book was everything I wanted it to be and more.

Thank you Andrew McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for letting me review this book of poetry. I don’t think I have ever related to main character more, and I think that is what Pierre Alex Jeanty was going for. I love poetry, it’s a roller coaster of emotions. I can’t wait to read more by this author.

I've been reading (and enjoying) Pierre Alex Jeanty's poetry on Instagram for a few years now. His latest book HER vol.3 was a quick and interesting read that ended up a mixed bag for me. There were a number of really good, emotionally impactful poems but overall I felt the collection lacked a cohesive flow.

As someone who really enjoys reading poetry, I feel that popularity and visibility of poetry on Instagram has contributed to increased readership and publishing interest in poetry books. Reading this book I've tried to look at it both through the lens of my overall reading experience, as well as my personal lens.

The author prefaces the collection by saying that he is simply an observer and he's not trying to tell women how to be and I kept that in mind as I was reading. Personally I have no issue whatsoever with a man writing about women. There was beautiful imagery in some of the poems, as well as an overall uplifting elements. I know I will be revisiting some of the poems in the future.

Where disconnect happened for me was the lens of hetero-normative and religious world view. I feel this will be the audience that this collection will most resonate with. It just felt a bit one-dimensional for me. I want to acknowledge that I recognize that there is a deep vulnerability in poetry and that this boils down to my own life experiences and world view being vastly different.

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing me with an early copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

Her Vol. 3 is the third book in Pierre Alex Jeanty’s collection of poetry for women. According to the foreword, he writes these poems not to tell women how to be, but to validate their experiences and help them through things they might be going through. I own both Her Vol. 1 and Her Vol. 2 (though, shamefully, that one is still on my TBR…oops) so I was super excited to see this one.


The Good

This book was very easy to get through. Most of the poems were short and snappy, which made for a quick read. I’m not a big fan of long, train-of-thought style passages so this was a big plus for me.

In the foreword Jeanty describes himself as an observer, and I think this is proved true in the different stories he tells throughout this collection. From poems about cheating, self-discovery and motherhood, there is a poem here for everyone.

(Well, almost everyone.)

Before I get to my problems with the book, I’d like to share some of the lines that I loved.

“She will no longer be a home for lost men.” (Page 29)

“If her beauty lures you faster than her heart, you are swimming in the shallow parts.” (Page 94)

“Being numb is too close to death to settle for feeling nothing at all.” (Page 131)


The Less Good

My first and biggest issue with this book is that it seems to come from a very Christian and heteronormative perspective. There’s literally a poem that says “not all men.” This collection of poetry is not accessible. It is aimed at cis, straight women, and while that isn’t a bad thing in and of itself, it’s just not for me.

There’s also a recurring theme of Christianity and faith, and a lot of these works perpetuate the idea that women should be nice and pure and innocent, which in itself is a potentially damaging ideology to have.

Some examples of this:

“Her trust is in God, not man. Her trust for men will only be led by God.” (Page 127)

“Having a man is not what makes you feel all woman; his presence just amplifies it.” (Page 171)

“The man for you will praise your femininity.” (Page 175)

On a more minor note, I felt that this collection could’ve been arranged in a more meaningful way. There was no cohesion to the order of poems and that was occasionally jarring.

In three separate poems, the (woman) reader are referred to as “queen”, and these poems are respectively three and five pages apart. So within eight pages, right around the middle of the book, we have the term “queen” used three times then never again. It read like the poetry was just put in the book in the order he wrote them. Again, this isn’t inherently a problem, it just made my reading experience less than it could’ve been if there had been some more work done to thread the themes together.


The TL;DR

First of all I want to say that poetry is a very personal thing and, in my opinion, there is no wrong way to read (or write!) it.

For me, personally, this collection had some issues–the main one being that I wasn’t the target demographic. And that’s okay! I found a lot of value in some of the works and none in others, but that’s the risk we take when picking up a poetry book.

Star rating:
3 (2.5 rounding up, because I truly believe there is something for everyone in this book.)

I had to buy these books. I truly love the words. <3

"To know her is to watch the sun steal the
sky for its morning show,
admire it's beauty,
allow it to feed your skin while its breath
pulls drops of sweat from your pores..."

"She will no longer be a home for lost men."

"Rivers won't flow from your eyes forever;
your heart will not always know a drought.
The wind will not always violently shake
you as it scans your soul..."

"While she is standing in her truth,
stand with her,"

"Share those traumatic experiences,
express those fears,
point at those insecurities,
let the wounds breath..."

"You cannot stop a woman like her
from being great.
Either you contribute to her
or gift her presence with your absence."

"...being numb is too close to death to settle for
feeling nothing at all."

Thank you, NetGalley for the ARC! The book is a simple and good read but it didn’t feel like poetry. It felt more like instructions for men on how to treat women and for women on how they are. It could be based on the poet’s own experience but the book as a whole was missing so much. I felt like I couldn't connect with it.

This volume truly stood out compared to the first two volumes. The poems in this collection felt much more relatable, and I found myself wishing I had this book while growing up. While I wasn’t necessarily inspired by every piece, the themes of self-worth and personal growth were strong throughout, offering some valuable reminders. Jeanty’s writing continues to be heartfelt and honest, making this a meaningful read for those on a journey of self-reflection. A solid addition to the series!

It feels like something got lost here and the result is this book of platitudinal poetry that unfortunately couldn’t hold my interest, and I found myself constantly checking to see if I was close to being through. . As cool as the concept of this collection sounds, the poetry lacks substance. I don’t have an expectation of profound writing in every single poem, I don’t even expect to like or understand every single poem in a collection like this, but this just never delivered anything.

Thank you Netgalley for this arc in exchange for an honest review and I'm going to very honest. I really disliked this work of poetry. I found it reductive, patronising, cliche, and just a bit empty. It's a bit of a red flag when the author starts his book with a preface stating he's not trying to tell women how to behave, feel, or simply be (cheers mate). I get the sense that there's been some feedback he didn't like. It was very hetronormative and set in the binary and basically was the equivalent of a man eavesdropping on you and your friends at a bar, interjecting himself without consent or understanding the context, putting his hand over yours, looking you dead in the eye, and saying really intensely that you deserve better, you're incredible, any man would be lucky to have you, and did you know the patriarchy sucks?. Like I know dude. Obviously. The other half of the book was the equivalent of him wagging his finger half-heartedly and preaching 'Come on men, do better. Women are really complicated but if listen and treat them with a modicome of basic decency they will be so blinded with love for you. Otherwise they get sad and cry and their entire self worth will evaporate from her body. If the 'Nice Guy' were a book, this would be it. Cringe.

ARC- “Her III” is a delicate collection of how to love a woman, told by a man. It’s gentle and sweet and often details instructions that ring true. However, with a male narrator it often falls short of detailing the novelties of the female experience, possibly simply due to the narrator having never experienced it. It’s simple and a good read, however a female reader may often find it a bittersweet punch - oversimplifying and sometimes recycling some stereotypes of what it means to ‘truly’ love a woman. No one woman fits into all the instructions that Jeanty dictates in this textbook attempt.

“Love always looks the same; so does the absence of it.” This quote by author Pierre Alex Jeanty, found in the early sections of his newest piece “HER III,” sets the tone for the rest of the novel and its lessons on introspection, maturation, and identity. Comparable, stylistically, to the poetry collection “The Evolution of a Girl” by L.E. Bowman, “HER III” uses a nameless female protagonist and her introspective journey to narrate female development and self-actualization when confronted with a facade of love as opposed to real, true love from her romantic partner.
Jeanty uses a variety of literary devices to develop this narrative and give it a level of relatability and personality that is sure to resonate with readers. Using various points of view and colorful metaphors that emphasize the comparability between nature’s behaviors and humanity’s behaviors, Jeanty is able to subtly, yet effectively, touch on how women and the relationships women share with men should not be comparable to that of a rehabilitation shelter housing needy people or a mother or service maid to their master.
One of the best discussions brought about in the collection is around the stereotype and the definition of a “good woman.” In past time periods, the social definition of a “good woman” was a woman who stood in solidarity with her male spouse, learning the craft of endurance, as though love was more about longevity than compatibility. However, Peaty argues that the term “good woman” should refer to a woman whose identity is not reliant on her implications with a man; instead, it should be a woman’s ability to find the good within themselves and know to whom this “good” is worthy of being shared that should determine a woman’s “goodness.”
Jeanty also uses behaviors of shifting in narrative and target audience to provide lessons to readers. The author shifts from providing lessons to readers more inclined to align with the ideology of the protagonist to providing warnings to those that may favor the countering opinion. Furthermore, a sort of narrative dialogue that caters to both possible opinions regarding the novel's messages on feminism and female empowerment is created.
The only possible critique to be had of this novel is that it occasionally relies on cliches, which often create awkward shifts between mature, impactful messages and other rhetoric that, unintentionally, comes off somewhat juvenile or surface-level.

🦇 Book Review 🦇

Rating: ⭐⭐

❝ Look at the way she conquers the darker days in her life, like the moon piercing through the night sky. How could you not admire such resilience? ❞

❓ #QOTD What six words would you use to describe yourself? ❓

🦇 The final collection of the HER series, this volume attempts to provide an enlightening discussion regarding self-love, trial & tribulation, and empowerment. As with the previous two volumes, some poems express how to love a woman from a man's point of view. The narrator recognizes the daily struggle "she" must navigate and conquer before ultimately persevering in this world.

💜 If you're a fan of Pierre Alex Jeanty's previous works, you'll likely devour these affirming poems in a single sitting. However, you might not enjoy the meal. This collection lacks the heart that would otherwise allow us, as women, to feel SEEN. The poems are written from the point of view of an observer, but it feels like an observer is leveraging a women's struggles to create content and make money. As someone who reads and writes poetry, some of these were difficult to read in the worst way.

🦇 Unfortunately, this is my least favorite of the HER collection. Some of the themes feel repetitive, some of the concepts not fully evolved. The cadence in some poems comes off as awkward, as if the pieces were rushed but not edited. Worst of all is the note from the author at the collection's start: "If this book ever sounds like it's telling women how to be women..." It does exactly that, reading more like a series of distant, cliche-driven social media posts than poetry. The previous collections did a better job at speaking to a male audience, instructing THEM on how to love a woman. Why should we, as women, listen to a man tell us how to love ourselves? The chosen voice and tone come off as emotionless, with concepts that feel derivative, lacking in depth, and even patronizing.

🦇 Recommended to anyone who read the first three HER collections and wants to close this chapter.

Themes
💜 Insecurities/Self-Doubt
💜 Self-Love/Self-Confidence
💜 Heartbreak/Healing

🦇 Major thanks to the author and publisher for providing an ARC of this book via Netgalley. 🥰 This does not affect my opinion regarding the book.

HER III by Pierre Alex Jeanty

Rating: ★★

First, thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the opportunity to read and review this e-ARC.

While I enjoyed the poetry within the collection, over all, it didn't seem to flow well enough for my taste. I didn't feel a connection to it. It reads like some verbal advice that one man would give to another about women. It is always difficult for a man to write about the experience of women.

I am hesitant in if I like the "warning" that was given in the beginning or not. On one hand I did like that he gave fair warning in the beginning that these were just his personal observations so it felt less like "mansplaining" and more like he was simply noticing these things and explaining them to his fellow man. On the other hand, I feel like if that kind of warning was necessary than the author already knew how this collection was going to feel to many women reading it. That he already knew the intended audience was wrong for this one compared to the first two of his works in this collection.

The idea behind the collection is fantastic and some of the prose is very well written, but I had a hard time enjoying it as much because it felt so disjointed and some of the elements came off as emotionless and patronizing.

HER III by Pierre Alex Jeanty is a powerful and poignant collection of poems that celebrates the resilience of women. As the final piece in the HER series, this book is a perfect conclusion to a trilogy that has captured the hearts and minds of readers around the world.

The poems in HER III are a reflection of the joys and sorrows of relationships, the beauty and complexity of human emotions, and the challenges of self-discovery. With his words, Pierre Alex Jeanty creates a safe space for women to explore their insecurities, heal their heartbreak, and find the confidence to love themselves unconditionally.

The author's writing is raw and honest, and his words have the power to move readers to tears or fill them with hope and inspiration. Each poem is a reminder of the strength that lies within every woman and the importance of self-love and acceptance in our lives.

HER III is a beautiful tribute to women everywhere and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Whether you are just starting on your journey of self-discovery or have already found your inner strength, this collection of poems is a must-read.

This book, the third in the HER series, is slightly better than its predecessors—but that isn’t saying much. I decided to read it because I own all three her books and made it a goal this year to finally read the books I own but haven’t touched yet.

Unfortunately, the issues that plagued the first two volumes persist here. The most glaring problem is the overwhelming sexism and the heavy-handed messaging that men are the solution to women’s problems. One poem even states outright that being with a man isn’t everything, but it sure makes things better. This kind of sentiment feels incredibly toxic, leaving no room for perspectives outside this narrow, heteronormative lens.

The book also claims to be a feminist work, but it does the opposite, reducing women to objects and dismissing their agency. It reads less like a celebration of womanhood and more like an entire book filtered through the male gaze.

In the end, Her Volume 3 may have marginally improved over the first two, but the series as a whole remains deeply flawed. It’s hard to recommend this to anyone seeking thoughtful, empowering poetry.

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of this title in exchange for an honest review.

Red flag right out of the gate. I did not enjoy the disclaimer at the beginning saying essentially "if this book ever sounds like it's telling women how to be women" you're wrong. He isn't a great poet guys, he's a great observer.

The synopsis of this book specifically says, "a collection of poetry written for women in an attempt to capture true resilience" but on the same disclaimer page where he mansplains that he's not mansplaining, he said "the purpose of the books in this series has always been to speak to my fellow men about HER." So is this a book written for women? Or about women? My guess is definitely the later.

I have not read the previous installments of this poetry collection and I don't think I ever will. The actually poetry in this collection isn't necessarily bad, but it's also not good. There are a couple of poems in here that were nice but most of them were pretty cliché and unmemorable.

Her III is poetry collection marketed towards both men and women and acts more as an instruction manual on how to be a “good” woman and a “good” man in relation to romantic, heterosexual love.

As a lesbian, I didn’t connect enough with this book to call it one of my favorites, even though I do quite enjoy poetry. Some of the passages made me mildly uncomfortable, especially the ones where the author writes about God and Christianity. I also wasn’t a fan of the author defining women in his own view when he clearly isn’t a woman and has no business defining us.

However, I did enjoy some lines including:

• “Despite how they sank their teeth into her heart and attempted to rip love out of it, still she stands, still she evolves.”
• “Depression is a demon that she’s learned to grow deaf to despite how loud he catcalls her.”

The illustrations were also quite beautiful.

I think there is a market for this but it just was not for me. I also think I might have enjoyed this more had I read Her I and Her II.

I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed HER I and II, and was hoping for another wonderful book of poetry with HER III. It was just okay for me.

I felt like some of the poems were repetitive. They were saying the same thing with a handful of different words. I felt that this set of poems was less impactful and meaningful that volumes I and II. To me, III was something someone with low self-esteem would read to feel better about themselves, where as I and II were more about women's empowerment and why women are wonderful.

That is not to say that there weren't some really good poems in this set. There were, absolutely. I just didn't feel it the whole way through like I did with the others.

Either way, Jeanty is obviously wonderful with words. Making a powerful point in a few sentences is difficult, but Jeanty seems to have it mastered. I don't want to discourage anyone from reading this book because maybe I was not the intended audience this time around. Like I said, I think Jeanty has a way with words and creates beautiful poetry, I just had a hard time connecting with this set. 3 stars.

2.75/5 stars! This book is the final entry in the Her collection of poetry by author Pierre Alex Jeanty. These books read like Rupi Kaur through a male lens elevating women. While the premise is good, it is a hard barrier to cross. As a woman, I tried to be open to a man's perspective on a woman's internal and external beauty. There were times that I think Pierre achieved this and a few really special moments. But overall, it was too difficult of a barrier to overcome, especially during a time when male legislators are literally taking autonomy over our bodies away. I do think the author's intentions were good. I don't think he had any intention to offend women and sought to elevate them, but the concept falls flat.

Free verse, with some poems that hit hard but most fall flat. 2.5/5

This is my first HER poetry book. The content doesn't feel purposefully organized in the way I prefer reading poetry. Instead, a lot of it seems thrown together with repetitive ideas throughout. When a similar idea appears in a new poem, nothing new seems to be discussed. The nice thing about poetry is that the books can be read in one sitting, so I felt the flow pick up about halfway through. Still, many of the poems used unnecessary filler words (also, as well) or repetitive words/phrases that broke up the flow. The poems he used more of a distinct rhythm and less words were my favorite. Page 57 & 103 especially hit home and I thought were written quite well.

I can thoroughly appreciate the wom(an/en) that Pierre wrote this collection for and the men he hopes will be ambitious enough to open the same pages and allow his words to make their mark.
Unfortunately, being that I am not in the current dating pool and am happily married to a really good guy, this collection didn't resonate with me as much as I wished it would. I feel like it is a collection I would have appreciated more in my early twenties.
It can get a little bouncy, between speaking to HER and HIM but I do think there is something for most people to find and pause with.
I really loved Heal. Grow. Love and felt like that collection was much more fulfilling at this stage of my life.

I really really wish that every woman and man in this world would just spend their time to read this exceptionally written poetry. So many proses that resonates with how i feel when I can’t even put a word into what I’m actually feeling but this poetry able to communicate my tangled thoughts into words and that’s just heartwarming. Her III is a book that you can visit to learn more about yourself and finding of how to love yourself and other and setting boundaries without feeling guilty about it. Looking at some of the proses also make me realize that in relationship, feeling validate over my emotions and struggles is okay and it’s not wrong for me to ask about it to my partner. A truly heartwarming poetry🤍
