Grief Is a Love Language is a collection of poetry that behaves like a novel, telling the story of a young woman dealing with the earth-shattering pain of loss and the painstaking healing process of recreating yourself in the wake of it. It shows us everything we learn from grief when we allow it to teach us, exploring love, mental health, family, self-love, and trauma along the way. It does all of this with unflinching honesty, through the lens of incredibly vivid and mesmerizing imagery. No emotion goes unexplored here, and each is masterfully expressed.
