Cover Art and Co-Creation of Title by Madeline Monlezun (@madmonart) "Deveree's words are so poetically beautiful and descriptive. Because she writes from her own pain, she really captures the complexities of emotions that follow a difficult breakup. I think many people (women particularly) will relate to this section and find comfort or solidarity in her words. This book was fire -- powerful like a hurricane, with glimpses of calm in the eye of the storm. I super highly recommend!" -- Victoria Gehman, author/poet "...it is arguably the best poetry book i've read in a long time! deveree's prose was simultaneously heartbreaking and heart healing. i can't remember the last time i felt so seen by a book before. the taylor swift easter eggs and inspired pieces made me want to scream because they truly would make taylor herself unbelievably proud. the writing in this book is so powerful, "hurricane her" couldn't be a more fitting title for it." -- Courtney Carola, author/poet Deveree Extein is a word-slinging wanderess currently residing in Louisiana.
