Some books are written with answers.
This one was written with a pulse.
Hollow Bones is an illustrated collection of poems about grief, chronic illness, mental health, and the relentless, invisible work of survival.
These poems were written in waiting rooms, on sleepless nights, and in moments of overwhelm. They hold the fear of breaking. The strength of trying. And the vast space between what hurts and what heals.
It's a book about absence and aftermath.
About what remains.
About continuing... even when hollow.
Featuring raw, unfiltered pencil illustrations, each image echoes the emotion of the words it lives beside.
Perfect for readers of Rupi Kaur, Blythe Baird, Yrsa Daley-Ward, or anyone navigating loss, fatigue, or survival that doesn't always feel like strength.
For those who have ever said, "I'm fine," and meant, "I'm still here."
