Some absences do not become smaller with time. They settle into rooms, ordinary mornings, familiar objects, and the quiet spaces between one life and the next.

The Weight of Absence is an illustrated collection of poems about grief, memory, and the love that remains when someone no longer does. Through quiet moments and ordinary things, these poems explore what it means to keep living while carrying someone you can no longer reach.

For anyone who has ever missed someone in ways words could not explain.
