Review

"Maybe there are some things the universe doesn't want you to know yet."This was a quick read and so emotionally charged!! I'm a huge fan of J.R. Rogue's poetry so this collection of her work was stunning to read. I loved how much anguish you can feel just by reading her words. She's honest and incredibly lyrical. I loved this one. Will definitely be rereading."I will write stories about how we lost each other. (because that's the part I will never get over. that's the part I know best.)" - Book Baristas
 

The definition of La Douleur Exquise is the heart wrenching pain of wanting someone you can't have, and this book from J.R. Rogue lives up to its title. The poems contained within the pages are heart wrenching, and soul consuming. They are real, and I felt all of the heart ache that Rogue pulled from the depths of her soul.I tried to pick a piece from the book that I could choose as a favorite, but the fact is that I found myself identifying with everything. There is not a poem in those pages that deserves more praise than the one before it. Every line written is as beautiful as it is painful, and I found myself constantly drawing from that pain. There is not one person on the planet that has never felt the feelings on these pages, and while reading it was a great reminder that we are never alone. There is always someone out there that has gone through similar instances. This is definitely one book that I will be going through time and time again.I have been a fan of Rogue's for quite some time and when the opportunity arose to review, I was completely all over it. As a lover of the written word, poetry has always been at the top. It's feelings in their truest form, and La Douleur Exquise captures all of the angst, and pain, and hope, and the lies you tell yourself when the love you give freely is not reciprocated. - All Is Read

I've been an admirer of J.R. Rogue's work for quite some time. When I heard she was releasing a chapbook of her poetry I was very much excited, but this set of work is completely different from what I've read before. It's much more real and raw. I felt like I was able to relate to each and every piece in this chapbook. If you're looking for something real and honest Rogue won't disappoint. She's put so much of herself into her work that I already feel like I personally know her. I am very excited to read future work by her. - Butthisbook

This woman and her words are beyond beautiful... I want to buy a bottle of wine & pour the author a glass while asking her not only, a thousand questions about her life, but also how she knows so much about mine as well. I related to every line in one way or another and I hope to see much more from J.R. Rogue! -Smutty Book Lover

Beautiful. Raw. Hits me in my vulnerable spaces. What else could I ask for? - Author, Kat Savage
