Description

The Paradox of Grief (is the weight that leaves you empty) is a poetry collection written by a first time author, Perse. Perse shares the different kinds of grief they’ve felt in their teenage years in a heart wrenching, introspective collection written mostly in the grief of the moment. The poems are simple, yet profound in their weight of sadness. Perse writes of grief as almost a romance, thinking of it as something that is persistent, and the final sign of love. Their poems were heavily inspired by the grief of the loss of the most special person in their life. Overall, The Paradox of Grief can be seen as an introspective work on the heavy feelings of sadness and the grief of loss.
