The Thing About Falling

Om boken

From Grammy award-winning spoken word artist and poet Tarriona 'Tank' Ball comes a powerful second collection of poetry about falling out of love and into a renewed sense of self. After getting vulnerable on her 2021 book tour, Tank realized she was truly ready to move on from her first love. In The Thing About Falling, she writes about that experience as well as what followed—a period of shallow comfort, followed by a much deeper transformation. Organized in sections that follow the author from heartbreak to rebound to new love, the poetry that flows is an honest, witty, and effortlessly charming account of one woman's journey back to herself. For the teenage reader facing their first heartbreak or the thirty-something looking for the strength to risk love again, The Thing About Falling is a heartfelt reminder that love is always worth the fall.
