For Her: A collection of poems manifested in love and divine energy. DELUXE EDITION
"That is how I talk to God — through the ears of my wife."
For HER: is not a book about love. It is a book addressed to it.
Over twelve years — 2012 to 2024 — D. Antione Dixon wrote to one woman.
Not for an audience. Not for a shelf. For her. Poems typed at 3:21 in the
morning. Letters dated and signed like receipts. Prayers disguised as
text messages. Then he gathered them, kept the dates on them, and let
you read what was never meant for you.
What's inside:
45+ poems, letters, and fragments spanning devotion, desire, rupture,
grief, and return. Scripture sits next to slang. A proposal shakes in
its own hands. A bed is described as free space. A father counts
children who were never born. A man forgives himself out loud and
hopes she was listening.
This is Black love written by a Black man who refused to make it
smaller to be understood — cinematic, spiritual, unguarded, and
specific to the point of discomfort.
For readers of Jasmine Mans, Danez Smith, Nayyirah Waheed, and anyone
who has ever loved someone hard enough to write it down.
Buy it for yourself. Buy it for the person you can't stop thinking about.

A NOTE BEFORE YOU BUY
These poems go where love actually goes. They include pregnancy loss,
depiction of grief, and some explicit language. Nothing here is
decorative.
