About the Book

In Hope, Love, and the Lack Thereof, Reese Landry invites readers into a deeply personal journey spanning over two decades of poetic exploration. Through three evocative sections Hope, Love, and Lack, Landry’s poems trace the transformation from innocence to survival, each piece a step forward through trauma, healing, and self-discovery. With unflinching honesty and lyrical grace, she explores the complexities of the human spirit: the longing for connection, the turbulence of relationships, and the quiet battles within. This collection is both a testament to resilience and an intimate portrait of growth, offering poetry lovers a moving, relatable experience that lingers long after the final page.
