L, A Collection is a raw and intimate journey through grief, written after the loss of two children to miscarriage within six months. These fifty poems were not planned as a book. They were survival. They were how the author stayed grounded when the world felt like it was collapsing.
The title, L, represents the Roman numeral for fifty, but it also carries the quiet weight of loss, longing, love, and lament. Each poem captures a moment of pain or clarity or confusion. Together, they form a map of sorrow that does not point to resolution but to presence. The kind of presence you find when you stop trying to move on and start trying to hold on.
This book does not offer answers. It offers witness. It sits with the reader like a friend who is not afraid of silence. For anyone who has carried grief that the world cannot see, L, A Collection may be the voice that says, you are not alone.
