Author Description

Blurring the universality of love as human experience with the nuance of post-capitalist relationships, Dre Hill explores the transaction of selling lonely people to one another. More, Hill asks if it is still possible to find someone that sees us for us and not as a space to fill, an achievement to unlock, a purchase from Amazon. This is a book of poetry for everyone that ever drew hearts in the margins of a notepad, or dreamt of having someone else's name -Ben Riddle, The Cripple Who Is Whole In Dre Hill’s debut collection, i love you means nothing, he uses varied elements, styles and structures to show the uncertainty and unpredictability of love, lust, and loss. “I want my forever person” echoes through the poems. The power of first attraction and young love and the sometimes unrequited or lovelorn nature many deal with navigating before finding that forever person is at the center of this collection. Dre’s authentic voice represents the bevy of emotions and obstacles love can involve. Hill serenades, swipes right, and asks the question, “will you check yes or no?” Matt McGuirk, Daydreams, Obsessions, Realities
