Poems for Breaking Hearts

By: Flanagan, Ryan Quinn

Poems for Breaking Hearts is a poetry collection concerned with fracture - of thought, memory, and the body moving through an unsettled world. These poems move through animal instinct, interior noise, erosion, isolation, and the uneasy labour of becoming oneself.

Ryan Quinn Flanagan writes with a language that is physical, restless, and exacting, attentive to damage without romanticizing it. Here, heartbreak is not spectacle but condition - something lived in, examined, and carried forward.

Speaking from the space between instinct and reflection, Poems for Breaking Hearts explores desire, consequence, and self-reckoning with unsentimental clarity. This collection will resonate with readers drawn to poetry that is intellectually rigorous, emotionally honest, and unflinching.
