Poems for Breaking Hearts

Poems for Breaking Hearts Ryan Quinn Flanagan - Nightcap Press (2026) Poems for Breaking Hearts is a poetry collection concerned with fracture - of thought, of memory and of the body moving through an unsettled world. These poems traverse animal instinct, interior noise, erosion, isolation and the uneasy labour of becoming oneself. Ryan Quinn Flanagan's work resists comfort. The language is physical, restless and exacting, attentive to damage without romanticizing it. Heartbreak appears not as spectacle, but as condition - something lived in, examined and carried forward. Speaking from the space between instinct and reflection, Poems for Breaking Hearts addresses desire, consequence and self-reckoning with unsentimental clarity. This collection will appeal to readers drawn to poetry that is intellectually rigorous, emotionally honest and uncompromising.
