Join author Reese Landry to celebrate the launch of her debut poetry collection, “Hope, Love & The Lack Thereof”
Reese Landry is a Cuban-American poet, short fiction author, and screenwriter based in Rhode Island with interests in psychology, neuroscience, and criminology. When she’s not writing, Reese enjoys adventures with her son, shopping for books, and studying film.
Poetry as always been a means for Reese Landry to process emotions, especially trauma.
The pieces included in “Hope, Love, and the Lack Thereof” are the result of 21 years of doing so.
The theme of each piece is a baby step toward the next, taking readers on a complex emotional journey; that of an innocent girl who becomes an abused woman and then, a survivor. Each of the three sections focuses on one of the elements of the title. “Hope” addresses themes of the external: life, the world, humanity. “Love” explores the peaks and valleys of romantic relationships. “Lack Thereof” expresses themes of the internal: self-analysis and self-awareness, self-love and self-forgiveness. This collection portrays how one writing mind has evolved through experiences with each.
