Product Description
A touching, angry, and hilarious anthology of the many facets of ruptured romance

With breakup and divorce rates so high in the United States, who wouldn't want to read an eclectic volume of poems on the subject? Therapeutic and transformative, edgy yet sincere, enlightening, wide-ranging, female and male, gay and straight, innocent and guilty, It's Not You, It's Me: The Poetry of Breakup incorporates work from as many different perspectives as possible in order to explore the exquisite pain of heartbreak. Such top-shelf contributors as National Book Award finalist Kim Addonizio, bestselling author Denis Johnson, former poet laureate Mark Strand, Edward Hirsch, Maxine Kumin, David Lehman, and many others proudly offer up their wisdom on the various pains (and humors) of heartbreak. In this stunning collection, readers will not find false hope, but the real hope of genuine sympathy in love, hate, fury, and recuperation.

This anthology full of wicked genius, is a must read for anyone who has experienced or watched a loved one break up or divorce. This book esp. hits home, being a child whose mom divorced 4 times & father divorced 3 times.

The poets are stunningly talented. You will laugh, you will cry, you will be in awe! This unique collection is not to be missed.
