Description
With massive social media followings and a loyal fan base, Jeanty is poised for great success for his sixth poetry collection entitled Apologies That Never Came. In this series of prose and poetry, both the words and sentiment are simple, uninterrupted by excess flair or complexity.
Apologies That Never Came dissects the agony of heartbreak and loss through the unexpressed words and feelings; what is left over at the end. While his poems and prose delve into pain, they ultimately transcend that heartbreak, awakening everyone's preexisting strength and capacity for growth. Much like in his previous collections, Jeanty has successfully created a tool for unity and healing out of the torment of his experiences.

I am normally not a huge fan of poetry, but the description of this one drew me in. I really identified with the themes in the poems - as someone who suffers from anxiety and depression and has never really been lucky in love, a lot of them really struck a chord. Thank you for the ARC, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Disclaimer: I received an advance digital copy of this poetry collection from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This was the first poetry collection that I've read from Pierre Alex Jeanty, but boy it warmed my heart. There's something about his writing style that's so direct you wouldn't see the emotions coming. This might be a resounding theme on his previous works, and now I'm convinced I should get my hands on them.
Truly, Apologies that Never Came is a collection that makes you feel things, especially for those who is at a time of finding one's self. And if you're lucky, it might just stitch your heart back together again.

I really enjoyed the poetry and prose in this collection, although I enjoyed the poetry more and would have preferred the whole collection was poems. Jeanty tackles universal subjects such as loss, heartache, relationships falling apart and emotional pain. I could relate to a lot of the pieces in this collection. There is a lot of sadness and regret and pain in this collection. There is also hope as well; hope that no matter how bad things get it will work out in the end. I enjoyed every page.

Thanks NetGalley!
Another great poetry book. This one hit me in the feels as I suffer from anxiety and depression as well.

I'd love to thank Pierre Alex Jeanty, Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for this amazing book in exchange of an honest review!
First, I'd like to say that Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur was the first modern poetry book I've read and I loved it enormously! It was everything I needed in that moment. Then I had a few tries of reading poetry but it didn't worked out too well for me. But I didn't gave up on reading poetry! And then I found this book on NetGalley. The premise sounded exactly like what I was looking for, so I read it.
Let me tell you that this book made me smile, made me cry, made me feel peaceful towards the end! I will definitely buy this book in the paperback edition! These poems understand you and your crushed soul. Please, read this book! It's one of the greatest out there and you won't regret it!
There were poems with titles and then some parts where the author gave some apologies that never came from the people you wanted to hear these words from, like:
I am sorry that they awoke a flame in
you that they weren't ready to feed.
I am sorry that they've helped you find
the worst in you.
I am sorry that it's becoming harder to
find the best in you.
