some things don't survive: Poetry by Reina Regina (Digital Edition)

📓 some things don't survive by Reina Regina

We think that the structures we move in and the lives entwined with ours will last forever. But when a pandemic shakes the foundation of our lives, sometimes, those we thought we were surest of are the first to crumble.

In her first book, Please Pick Me, author Reina Regina teaches us to ask bravely for love; in her sophomore collection, some things don’t survive, she shows us what happens in the times we don’t fight for love to continue.

These poems are about grief, sadness, and anger, and the aftermath of loss—of trying to rebuild a life with new people, new friends, new experiences, when you’re trying to process the ghosts of the lost ones.

While bleak, furious, and dark at times, this book reminds us to keep choosing to live, and to love, and love again. Perhaps some things don’t survive. But you will.
