ABOUT THE BOOK

A poignant collection of poetry and prose that tackles the complexities of heartache, gender roles, queerness, and toxic masculinity.

Introspective, vulnerable, and tantalizing, this is a love letter to queerness -- capturing the joy, grief, ecstasy, and hope that accompany it. The poems tackle the complexities of infatuation, heartache, sexual assault, and toxic masculinity.

Across three acts, Weissmann offers readers an unfiltered view into his psyche through several romantic relationships. These poems magnify the reality of exploring emotional and physical intimacy with multiple genders, all while navigating the journey of self-love.

Her, Him & I is a coming-of-age celebration of heartbreak and healing.
