The Heart I Had to Hold: A Collection of Poetry

by Dominique R. Fisher

In The Heart I Had to Hold, Dominique Fisher delivers a soul-baring debut that moves with raw honesty, sacred softness, and fierce resilience. This powerful collection of poetry explores what it means to carry grief, love, memory, and healing, especially as a Black woman navigating a world that too often demands silence.

Through deeply personal verses, Fisher invites readers into her lived experience with heartbreak, trauma, faith, and hope. These poems are love letters to the unseen, the grieving, the healing, and the becoming. They echo the ache of loss, the quiet triumph of survival, and the tender strength it takes to keep going.

Whether she's writing about sisterhood, motherhood, depression, faith, or justice, Fisher's voice is both intimate and unflinching. Her words resonate like a balm and a battle cry, reminding readers that they are not alone and that there is beauty in the broken, power in vulnerability, and holiness in healing.

For anyone who has ever held on when it would've been easier to let go, this book is for you.
