Description
Across factories, empty rooms, late-night cigarettes, and long shifts under fluorescent lights, this collection traces the inner life of men who were taught to be necessary before they were even taught to be loved.

The Man Who Could've Been, by Best-Selling author Loan Wendling, is a poetic reflection of manhood, fatherhood, redemption, and the daily labor of becoming a better man - or at least trying to. After his debut book "Tales and Ink," and his second project, "The Ashes," Loan Wendling presents here a much more refined and much more experienced style and aesthetic, both poetically and visually, with its heart-wrenching poems and stunning illustrations, that act as a symbolic through line until the very last page.

The Man Who Could've Been is a voice for the unheard, an attempt to comfort the lonely by letting them know that they are not alone. At its heart, this book is not about greatness; it is about the decision to break both societal and generational burdens by letting the world know that it is okay to feel, that it is okay to cry, and that it is okay to try to be better, rather than remaining in this same old hole we were told to remain in.

Loan Wendling's The Man Who Could've Been speaks to every man who has wondered who he might have become - and reminds him that as long as the sun rises, the story is still being written.
