Self-made poet and social media sensation Pierre Jeanty has triumphed once again with his most recent collection, Apologies That Never Came. From words that never left your mouth to feelings you held on to, these words explore an unspoken space in heartbreak and pain, providing solace to the wounded soul.
With massive social media followings and a loyal fan base, Jeanty is poised for great success for his sixth poetry collection entitled Apologies That Never Came. In this series of prose and poetry, both the words and sentiment are simple, uninterrupted by excess flair or complexity. Apologies That Never Came dissects the agony of heartbreak and loss through the unexpressed words and feelings; what is left over at the end. While his poems and prose delve into pain, they ultimately transcend that heartbreak, awakening everyone's pre-existing strength and capacity for growth. Much like in his previous collections, Jeanty has successfully created a tool for unity and healing out of the torment of his experiences.

I really enjoyed the poetry and prose in this collection, although I enjoyed the poetry more and would have preferred the whole collection was poems. Jeanty tackles universal subjects such as loss, heartache, relationships falling apart and emotional pain. I could relate to a lot of the pieces in this collection. There is a lot of sadness and regret and pain in this collection. There is also hope as well; hope that no matter how bad things get it will work out in the end. I enjoyed every page.
