hover over her

Discover the enchanting world of hover over her, the debut poetry collection by Leah Poole Osowski, published by Kent State University Press in 2016. With 80 pages of evocative verse, Osowski invites readers to explore the intricate landscapes of unrealized adolescence. Through her lyrical mastery, she captures the essence of young women as they navigate their unique experiences against vibrant, chaotic backdrops—be it beside a serene lake, within the surrealism of a Dali painting, or lounging in a blooming flower garden.

Acclaimed poet Adrian Matejka describes this collection as “exquisite,” highlighting Osowski's ability to create a singular voice amidst the noise of life. Perfect for poetry enthusiasts and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of youth and identity, hover over her is a must-read that will resonate long after the last page is turned.
