You Can Do It with a Broken Heart

By Ana Sampson

Heartbreak. It hits like a freight train and leaves us reeling.

We've all been there -- marathon-watching The Notebook, blasting Taylor Swift, or desperately hoping for a Mr. Darcy-level hand flex to solve all our problems. And when the hot priest in Fleabag tells us "It'll pass," we want to believe him, but our hearts are still shattered.

You Can Do It With a Broken Heart by Ana Sampson isn't just a collection; it's your new best friend. Whether you're in the "ugly crying on the bathroom floor" phase or the "I'm totally fine, just listening to breakup anthems on repeat" stage, these poems get it. They're here to validate your pain, unleash your inner angst, and remind you that even when it feels like the world is ending, you're not alone.

Dive into the raw, relatable wisdom of literary legends like Emily Dickinson, Rumi, W.B. Yeats, Dorothy Parker, Wilfred Owen, Anne Sexton, and Sylvia Plath. And for those moments when you need a modern voice to scream-sing along with, discover the powerful poetry of Ada Lim n, Hera Lindsay Bird, Jackie Kay, and Nikita Gill.

You Can Do It With a Broken Heart is for anyone who has loved and lost, and is ready -- in the immortal words of Love Actually -- to get the bleep kicked out of us by love again.
