Happy pride month <3

2.5 stars rounded up

A collection of poetry encapsulating the longing and belonging of being bisexual and dating. Broken up into three parts, Weissmann muses on past lovers as well as himself and his own feelings and mentality. Weissmann's writing is somewhat juvenile but I believe he has potential to hone his skills and continue to write. His use of metaphor throughout can be hit or miss, but the spark of something greater lives within this collection.

My favorite poems are: "King Muir Road", "Masochist Botanist", and "Introspection."

I read this on the first day of Pride month which is just a fantastic time to read it. The poems are a good mix of sad, deep, happy, thoughtful. I thoroughly enjoyed reading each and every one. I read it in one sitting, but I went back and read ones that really spoke to me again, so I could take them in better. I would recommend reading just some, taking them in, re-reading them, as I believe all poetry should be read. A really amazing collection of poetry and I hope to see more from Christian.

This was all and more I wished for from a poetry book. This was my first book in this genre and I definetly need more. My favorite chapter was 'Man Enough'. As a queer man in society this chapter hits diferently and even made me nearly cry.
This auther will definetly go places and I will look forward to read another book from him.

This was a beautiful and honest collection that had me hanging on every word. It encapsulated the journey of discovering who you are. I liked how it didn’t focus on labels and more about learning about who you are, letting nobody else define you. My favourite poem was Ego Play and one that will stick in my mind. It gave me shivers. I liked how the poems seemed to tell a story of the authors’ past, with the last section focusing on accepting every part of who you are, and not letting anyone define you. I’m excited to read more from the author in the future.

Her, him and I is a collection of poems about queer love and the journey of discovering ourself.
Some poems like "journal entry #12" felt so reletable that i couldn't resist my tears.

Thank you Netgalley and Central Avenue for this e-arc in exchange of an honest review.

I wasn’t sure how digestible the material would be here, but was pleasantly surprised. Christian Weissmann does a wonderful job of walking you through his thoughts on gender, sexuality, and his place in this world. Some commons themes included alcohol/drinking, music, and nature.

I loved “Best by Sept. 27” where he wrote:

You were the landscape of possibility
and I was the wretched blemish on your future

Heartbreaking but relatable. I also loved the poems C-SHARP and MASOCHIST BOTANIST. I found his poetry to be edgy enough to remain intriguing but not so much that it’s brutal for the reader. I look forward to seeing everything he publishes!

Thank you Central Avenue Publishing and Net Galley for access to this advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

An exciting collection that explores identity, love, heartbreak, and connection, Her, Him & I is a read-in-one-sitting experience that will anchor to your heart and keep you turning pages. Stand out favorites include Le Petit Prince, Upward and Onward, Satin, and Crush. While some pieces could have been edited a little more for my personal preference, Wiessmann's work is strong, brimming with raw emotion and the unspeakable something that draws you in and continues to resonate.

Big thanks to Central Avenue Publishing and NetGalley for providing an eARC in exchange for honest review consideration.

Her Him and I is a poetry collection separated into three parts and just from this book alone I know Christian Weissmann’s works are only going to get better and better, his poems are going to develop into a beautiful thing with a bit of time.

Some of his lines felt like a sucker punch to the stomach and others managed to capture what it’s like to be a Bi person in the dating world, those feelings of love and pain.

I don’t want to say too much of what the poems were about because I will not capture everything in as bewitching of a way that Weissmann did, so you will have to go in a little blind. Some of the poems were forgettable and lacking, it’s no Walt Whitman but for a 24 year old I see so much potential in him.

Some of my favourite poems were: Journal Entry #12, Best By Sept. 27, The Path, Homebody, and finally Forest Lawn Drive. Have a look out for them when you give this book a chance!

Thank you NetGalley for this e-arc!

This wasn’t just an exploration of love and self-love, but also a cleansing, a healing that ebbed from the worlds as Christian delved into what makes him him.

What a wonder debut! Some of the line breaks felt a bit disjointed, but overall, I loved the storyline the poetry told.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

Her, Him & I is a collection of coming-of-age poems from a queer man as a love letter to queerness and his journey so far navigating love and heartache.
There are triggers in this book (sexual assault), so please check before reading.
We learn of the highs and lows Christian has experienced, along with experiences such as toxic masculinity and assault. These poems are written from the heart, and this is clear to see in each poem. These poems not only make you think but they make you feel too.

Her, Him & I is a refreshingly honest and heartfelt exploration of self through the binding forces of love and heartbreak. This collection is a reason to cry, a reason to smile, a reason to discover, a reason to begin again, and a reason to never deny yourself a chance to know who you truly are in the face of love, or lack there of. Christian holds our hands whilst breaking our hearts and stanza by stanza he shows us how we can become whole again.

Thank you to the publisher & NetGalley for providing me with an e-arc in exchange for an honest opinion.

I went into this wanting to like it. I think this would've benefitted greatly from a little more editing & reorganization of some chapters to make the poems flow more smoothly. I also can't say I was the biggest fan of most of the poems, although some were quite enjoyable. Overall an okay first time effort.

A heartwarming read that gives hope to younger LGBT kids.

I liked the first act a lot and thought this was a very relatable poetry book.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

This book really captures the bisexual experience in a very authentic way. Very personal, very moving and awfully sad. This author uses interesting metaphors and modern ways to illustrate his pain.

My favorite poem was The Divine sacrament.

Thank you Netgalley for a free digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I love poetry, especially when it's about love and heartbreak
it's always tricky to rate poetry so take mine with a grain of salt
some poem felt really "simple" and some were elegant and worked
overall I liked to read this collection, particularly because it is modern in terms of visions on love and couple/commitment

thanks to Netgalley for the copy

Her Him and I is a collection of poetry inspired by the poet's life and lovers. The description of this collection appealed to me (of course, the pretty cover and the catchy name too). I thought, maybe I can explore my bisexuality through these poems too, however, it wasn't quite what I expected. Some poems, I couldn't decipher the meanings. I think those were the ones which you need context to understand better. Also, I felt that the poem headings were kinda different than the poem meant. Or maybe, I just did not get it properly.

My favorite line of all the poems was this~

"Love is finding contentment
in the small moments.
It's looking into their eyes
and getting lost
in the promise of tomorrow."

The following poems are the ones that I found very relatable and touched my heart~

♡Liquid Lobotomy
♡Morning Routine
♡One New Notification
♡Kalopsia
♡A Habit of Desolation
♡Inside
♡Shadow Work
♡Seeds Of My Soul

These were some poems which made me think, "Damn, this person has gone through a lot!" It was so vulnerable, sad, and melancholic. The poet did a great job in capturing their emotions into words~

It was a very raw and reminiscent collection of poems. And I recommend it if you like poems as such.

These poems were clearly very personal and from the heart. They weren't really my jam, but I think they'll resonate with the right audience and I think a lot was poured into the writing of them.

I overall liked how personal this was, but some things weren't well written. It needed an editor and some reorganization.
