More Than Any Thing Or Any One, Baylie E. Rice Mar 2026

More Than Any Thing Or Any One, Baylie E. Rice

Landshark Literary Review

These sister poems "more than any thing" and "more than any one" were written as an exploration of how we tend to romanticize people we are involved with romantically. After they break our hearts or hurt us in some way, we begin to see them as they truly are, for better or worse. "more than any thing" is the process of viewing someone through rose colored glasses, while "more than any one" is looking back on the relationship and wishing you had spent more time learning to love yourself.
