Unlearning Forever

Unlearning Forever is a searing, intimate poetry collection that traces the unraveling of a love once believed to be unbreakable. Told in four movements: The Dream, Rose-Colored Glasses, The Grounding, and The Reckoning. 

Sh’Quelle Brown guides readers through the illusions we cling to, the truths we silence, and the sacred act of letting go. With raw vulnerability and unflinching clarity, these poems explore the quiet ways love decays. In forgotten goodnights, in rehearsed apologies, in shrinking to survive all a slow death to the forever once invisioned. But beneath the grief lies a deeper call, to return to self, to reclaim your voice, and to choose peace over performance.
