Thank You More Please

In his second poetry collection, Thank You More Please, Isaiah Vianese explores love and intimacy in the midst of grief and a chaotic world. This compact, lyrical books brims with hugs, kisses, and private moments shared between partners, lovers, and friends. It celebrates connection-grateful for every little moment.

Praise for Thank You More Please:

"Consider Thank You More Please an invitation to attentiveness-a lover's mouth, a husband's touch-and also an act of presence, of bearing witness to beauties we too easily pass over-a friend's sigh, 'June and its unending rainbows.' Here, we are released from the onslaught of time; these poems shift us with gentle generosity until we find ourselves in restorative space-what Vianese calls a 'circle of light.' 'While I'm here, I'm going to love you as hard as I can,' Vianese affirms in 'Light On,' and this wonder of a book does just that. By the last poem, we can only think, 'More of this, please.'"
- Julie E. Bloemeke, Slide to Unlock, Let Me Say This: A Dolly Parton Poetry Anthology

"Near the middle of Isaiah Vianese's book, Thank You More Please, he writes 'There's no revelation, only air moving in and out,' which perfectly captures the everyday gratitude of these poems. These poems are a reminder to savor every flash of beauty, joy, and friendship we can, even when faced with a world full of loss and grief."
- Stephen S. Mills, He Do the Gay Man in Different Voices ( Lambda Literary Award - Gay Poetry)

"This short and sweet collection of love poems to friends, lovers, and the dearly departed had me wishing for more, please. Take your time to savor each one."
- Collin Kelley, Wonder & Wreckage: New and Selected Poems
