The death

of a loved one

is a blow

to the delicate

 tether                         

that holds us

to the earth

as well.

NAKED GRIEF :

a grief trip recorded in poetry

Naked Grief follows a solitary journey taken in the immediate aftermath of loss. Written in sequence, these poems capture grief as it unfolds in real time - unpolished, lived, and honest.

This book does not offer tidy answers or forced healing. It offers presence - a place for deep things - and a companion for walking the paths of grief.

this is a collection

chronological

naked

real

it is full

of the darting thoughts

and lasting wounds

that grief serves

sometimes

overflowing

in a gilded chalice

others, in the cup of your hand

dipped in

briefly

as

you

are able

to believe

it holds no malice
