Description
Her, Him & I tells the story of a bisexual man on his journey of self-discovery. Weissmann offers the reader a peek into his psyche: the poems are refined journal entries, documenting his voyage to self-actualization. This collection magnifies the reality of exploring emotional and physical intimacy with multiple genders, in the midst of figuring out to love oneself in the process.
Advance Praise
“Her, Him & I is a romantic walk down memory lane that fuels your senses. Weissmann has choreographed a dance with words—this collection beautifully captures how the relationships of our youth teach us things about ourselves we’d never learn otherwise.” — Michaela Angemeer, author of Please Love Me at My Worst
“Her, Him, & I is sensual, wistful, and earnest. This collection gorgeously balances the dualities of hope and heartbreak, nostalgia and anticipation, flirtation and loathing, playfulness and sincerity. I was instantly drawn into Christian’s inner world, enamored with how he romantically describes ordinary moments with the awareness that they will one day become tender memories. Your heart will ache in your chest as Christian illustrates what it means to move on, defy, and bloom.” — Madisen Kuhn, author of Almost Home
“Weissmann’s Her, Him & I is a necessary addition to the queer literary canon. It is a collection of poems that gives, to its readers, permission: to feel, to pine after whomever. Love, with all its stings and burns, knows no gender—too big, too grand for the neat little boxes society puts us in.” — Grant Chemidlin, author of What We Lost in the Swamp
“From the very first line, Weissmann builds a vulnerable, fluid and comforting world of love, loss, lust, and hope. You will feel with him, you will yearn with him, you will sigh of relief and longing with him and ultimately you will hope with him.” — Eli Rallo, author of I Didn’t Know I Needed This
“Her, Him & I lovingly cradles readers who are in the dance of finding their identity in romance and relationships. A collection filled with love, even in some of Weissmann’s deepest heartaches.” — Brianna Pastor, author of Good Grief
“A tender yet visceral collection that spoke to my big bisexual heart. Weissman’s words find the romance in the everyday, transporting us through formative moments of a life well loved.” — Jen Winston, author of Greedy
“Christian makes poetry feel so fresh and modern. His words remind us that love is the most important thing, the only thing, really. It also reminds us that the most important love affair is with yourself.” — Rene Lynch, editor at LAist & LA Times
