Climate

Product Information

I grew up in rural Montana. So that’s where I call home, but I go to school in South Carolina right now.” When did you first start writing? my biggest fear is that we were meant to be. what if we were wrong, and we missed out on all the ways we were supposed to love each other. what if timing and space was just an excuse that we used to separate two hearts that beat simultaneously. maybe we are going to live the rest of our lives watching the wrong story unfold.”

From TikTok phenomenon Whitney Hanson, a brand-new collection of poems exploring the cadences of love, loss, grief, and healing So, withHomeI kind of reimagined the body and the self as a beehive. All of these emotions like anxiety, loss, and heartbreak are the bees. Some days the bees are very unsettled and some days they’re not. WithClimateI wanted to do something similar, but this time I reimagined the mind as weather patterns. Climate has four different sections: “Stormy,” “Foggy,” Sunny,” and “Climate.” The idea is just that all of these different types of weather make up the climate, in your mind and body. The point of the book is that the sunny days are just as important as the rainy days. All of it is a balance.“ What do the four parts in Climate represent?you are so incredibly capable of collecting the stars you just have to overcome your fear of heights” i drowned us both in the process; the ships never found the shore. i ended up helping less when i meant to be helping more. I need you to understand something. I wrote this for you. I wrote this for you and only you. Everyone else who reads it, doesn't get it." From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Starts with Us and It Ends with Us, a novel about risking everything for love—and finding your heart somewhere between the truth and lies. sometimes love isn’t the fall. It is the time you spend sitting on the edge of the cliff learning each others souls.”

From Tiktok phenomenon Whitney Hanson, a revised edition of her bestselling Home, now with a new introduction and more than a dozen new poems When I started writing it I was lost in so many areas of my life. I had just gotten out of a romantic relationship, so I was in a really rough spot with heartbreak. But I was also really unsure of my direction in life, what I was pursuing, and unsure of who I am. I think part of that was going to college and having to redefine my identity on my own terms. Homewas kind of me finding myself again after all that I’d been through. That’s why I titled it Home.“ How did your writing process change after your first book was published? Stormy is when the storms are unleashed within you. This section is sadness and heartbreak that accompanies lost love.Foggy is about losing your identity. The storm may have passed, but after heart break we often go through a process of redefining ourself.Sunny is a glimpse of joy and new love. It is the feeling of butterflies in your heart and sun on your skin. Climate is a reminder that all of the weather we encounter creates this beautiful experience that is life. It is a section of appreciation for both the rainy and sunny days.“ What is something you learned about yourself after writing these two books?And this book, as much as I wanted to like it, I really couldn't. It was just boring and disappointing. I feel that it's just the second version of "Home", which I also read, but that one I wouldn't even call poetry - it was more like a diary and love advices, than poems.

I have ADHD so I feel like my thoughts kind of come in small bursts of inspiration rather than one novel of inspiration. And so I think that’s part of the reason that poetry comes more naturally to me. But, it wasn’t something I was really pursuing. Being an author wasn’t something that had been a life goal for me. It was a side passion project that I always worked on, It was a way of coping with things. It became this thing where I don’t really know how I got here.” What is your favorite book? The way her words harmonized with my soul, this book has become my favorite poetry book I have ever read. Hands down! (and I’ve read a decades worth.)

It is almost like reading a diary of her life experiences that she just so happened to turn into poems but they also feel so intentional as well. Sometimes with poetry, I have seen that authors focus too much on the language sounding pretty but they don’t say anything (at least that I can understand as a person reading for entertainment without deconstructing each line which is what some of the poets want, it just is not my favorite form of poetry so my opinion is a little bias). Whitney Hanson can create such amazing pieces that while sounding poetic and beautiful, have a voice that is easy to understand and wants to say something to the reader. She uses simple word choice overall, which blows my mind because I always try to “sound like a poet” when I write. This collection shows that you don’t always need “big fancy words” to create good works, even though she does have great use of word choice throughout her pieces. She wants the reader to relate and be able to feel what she is saying in her work. I believe that the voice she chose allows for that throughout her collection. they told me my job description but i think i’ve got it wrong. they said i was supposed to man the lighthouse and save lost ships from going down. But I wish Whitney the best and can’t see if she will develop her talent! The message is beautiful, of course, it’s about heartbreak and healing, but I feel like this wasn’t it. I guess this wasn’t just my cup of tea. I wish there was mention that it’s not only poetry BUT ALSO quotes / poetry prose, because one sentence is not poetry for me.

Is poetry the literary genre that you have always wanted to take part in when writing?

it is hard to see the line between I care for you and I will put your needs before mine until my feet are blistered from racing to catch you every time you fall but every time i saw the ships i forgot about the light. i dove headfirst into the sea and swam to save their life. and “A first collection of poetry from a 20-year-old university student and “–Publisher’s description.
