A review by aleann129
Her III by Pierre Alex Jeanty
ARC given by NetGalley for honest review:
I was immediately taken aback due to the preface by the author regarding why he felt it necessary to write of the female perspective. The author states he’s a “great observer” of the female life, but I vehemently disagree. Just because you have encountered countless women, does not suddenly enable you to truly see or understand what being a women is like.
The author does state he does not consider himself to be a great poet, which is something we can both agree upon given the subject matter.
For the most part, the authors words seem to fall flat.
Many of the pages are micro poems alike to that of a social media caption. In this “collection” it is hard to find true depth.
