Love is rarely neat. It is felt in waves, wrestled with in silence, and often discovered in places we least expect. In In It! Over It! Under It!: A Poetic Journey Through the Chaos of Love, Marsha Holland Kahn invites readers into an intimate collection of poems born from real experience; heartbreak and healing, longing and laughter, confusion and clarity, vulnerability and faith.
These pages trace the emotional terrain of being in love, being done with love, and ultimately being carried by a deeper love that restores the soul. With raw honesty and lyrical depth, Kahn gives voice to thoughts many are afraid to admit aloud: the ache of unmet expectations, the courage to set boundaries, the struggle for self-worth, the quiet prayers whispered in the dark, and the resilience required to begin again. Her words do not merely tell a story; they create space for reflection, recognition, and renewal.
Each poem reads like a conversation with the heart; sometimes tender, sometimes confrontational, yet always sincere. Readers will find themselves nodding in agreement, pausing in remembrance, and breathing easier knowing they are not alone in their journey.
Whether you are currently in love, over love, or learning to rest under the covering of God's love, this collection will meet you exactly where you are and gently guide you forward with hope.
It is a moving, relatable, and spiritually hypnotic poetic experience for anyone who has ever loved, lost, questioned, healed, or believed again.
