We Both Say is a debut collection by Jake Reynolds that maps a long-distance relationship across difference, distance, and the persistent interference of the world's larger crises. The poems move between letters, dreams, storms, and time zones, finding in the gap between two people a space both intimate and politically charged. Reynolds works across forms, from the sestina to loose prose poems and fragmented lyric, with a tonal range that encompasses dry wit, tenderness, and a clear-eyed awareness of how climate, borders, and geopolitics complicate even the most private desires. The collection is alert to the comedy and the exhaustion of mediated connection, to the rituals of waiting, and to the strange temporal disorientation of loving someone whose day begins as yours ends. Throughout, the writing maintains a precision and an earned restraint, resisting sentimentality even as it takes romantic feeling seriously as a subject worthy of formal attention.
