When He Leaves You

When He Leaves You

When He Leaves You is a collection of short poetry and prose, biopsied with tears and red wine. It dives into themes of love, loss, a connection to water, and never forgetting what it means to be alive. Separated into six sections: Childhood, Him, Everything Is You, Over, Repairing, and Perspective, it takes you on a journey to find a new outlook. Michaela Angemeer is a Spanish Canadian poet who grew up in Brampton, Ontario. She went to the University of Waterloo to pursue her love of introspection and words, receiving her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and English. As someone who learned to read before she could walk, she's always imagined herself writing a book. When He Leaves You is her debut poetry collection, an honest reflection of her life. Michaela now lives in a one-bedroom apartment in Waterloo, Ontario with her books, too many throw pillows, and empty bottles of red wine. Find her on Instagram: @michaelapoetry
