The Thing About Falling

Poems

By: Tarriona Ball

Narrated by: Tarriona Ball

From Grammy award-winning spoken word artist and poet Tarriona ‘Tank’ Ball comes a powerful second collection of poetry about falling out of love and into a renewed sense of self.

After getting “vulnerable AF” on her 2021 book tour, Tank Ball realized she was truly ready to move on from her first love. In The Thing About Falling, she writes about that experience as well as what followed—a period of shallow comfort, followed by a much deeper transformation.

Organized in sections that follow the author from heartbreak to rebound to new love, the poetry that flows is an honest, witty, and effortlessly charming account of one woman’s journey back to herself. The audiobook is read by the author.

For the teenage reader facing their first heartbreak or the thirty-something looking for the strength to risk love again, The Thing About Falling is a heartfelt reminder that, love is always worth the fall.

Exquisite

The flow of the poems from heartbreak to reclaiming confidence was a magical ride. Tank will always be a vibe. Loved it!

The words, the music. Chef’s kiss

Beautifully done! Tank never disappoints. I felt every single word spoken. What an experience. 10/10
