Overview

A dark, unfiltered, and painful collection of poetry from the #1 Bestselling Author of The Night I Spent with Aubrey Fisher and Keep You. It's because deep down I don't love me, so why would I expect you to? Christopher M. Tantillo's poetry collection, things you never got to hear, is the second book in a trilogy that weaves personal narratives with professions about how we find ourselves in the many varied stages of falling in and out of love with others and ourselves. It paints a loose narrative as we navigate love, loss, grief, heartbreak, hope, betrayal, death, what it means to be a man expressing emotions, how we romanticize people and places and memories, and ultimately, healing. Like life ebbs and flows, the poems bounce from dismay to infatuation with the turn of a page. Tantillo pulls you into a darker experience that delves into the ugly, selfish, and toxic parts of ourselves while in love. The collection invites the reader to reflect on the things that the people they loved or lost never got to hear.
