Hollow Bones: Grief, Withdrawal, and the Weight of Loss


Overview

Hollow Bones is a poignant and deeply emotional exploration of love in the face of unimaginable loss. In their third year together, the couple faces a devastating miscarriage, which leaves them grappling with grief, emotional withdrawal, and the fragile threads that hold them together. This collection of 12 poems captures the raw, unvarnished reality of loss-the physical pain, the emotional numbness, and the quiet strength required to endure. The poems in Hollow Bones are steeped in visceral imagery: the ache of milk with no child to feed, the sound of a heartbeat that never was, and the way grief can hollow you out until you feel like a shell of yourself. Themes of resilience, healing, and the enduring power of love dominate this collection, as the couple navigates the aftermath of their loss and begins to rebuild their relationship. Standout Poems: Stillborn Sonata: A haunting exploration of the physical and emotional aftermath of miscarriage. Kintsugi Womb: A meditation on healing and the beauty of broken things. Saltwater Psalms: A raw, emotional poem about crying together and finding solace in shared grief. Why Readers Will Love It: Hollow Bones is for anyone who has experienced loss and struggled to find their way back to the light. It's a raw, honest, and deeply moving collection that captures the pain of grief and the quiet strength of enduring love. The poems are both universal and deeply personal, offering readers a mirror to their own experiences and a reminder that healing is possible. Themes: Grief and loss Resilience and healing The enduring power of love Tone: The tone is somber and reflective, with moments of quiet hope. The language is rich and sensory, pulling readers into the physical and emotional world of the couple.
