From the crushing pain of loss to the elation of new love to the struggle of forging your own path, the messages in this book are ubiquitous, but also distinctly personal to the reader. Ben's first book of poetry, ‘Intoxicated Heart’, was released in 2019 and his sophomore effort, 'Feeling This Way', was published in June 2022. I cried a couple times, but I’m so glad someone (Ben) was able to put into words what I wasn’t able discover or reason myself.

i'm gonna start by saying i think this book has some really great one-liners and a really strong, needed message. The variety of form in these poems makes it really lovely to read and makes the emotions truly jump off the page.

It was beautiful poem book, that deserves to be read, it goes over heartbreak and growing to love yourself which really just stood out to me and at times the small poems of being confused within who we are without the person we love resonated to me.

This book full of poems and love made me feel so seen, it made figure out feelings that I able to figure out myself.Didn’t really resonate with a lot of them at the time of reading but when I’m feeling those ways, this book will be great to go back to! in a way, it felt very elementary with similes that fell short and untitled poems––i craved a depth and complexity that these poems never quite delivered. As I mentioned previously, this was more frustrating than anything as I feel this poet has real considerable prospectives.

If you’re going through heartbreak you will probably love this book, however as I am not maybe my perspective is harsh. Now, whilst I do feel this poet holds a substantial amount of potential with some of these poems holding a profound message, I do feel this poetry book left me with something to be desired. This work didn’t feel cohesive, I found myself really resonating with a singular line, only for the rest of the poem to consist of what seemed like random words thrown together.
