When the World Fit in My Hands

By: Love, C. E.

When the World Fit in My Hands is a poetry collection about waiting, memory, and becoming.

Written across seasons of longing, loss, hope, and motherhood, these poems trace the quiet interior moments that shape a life. They explore what it means to want something deeply, to grieve what has not yet arrived, and to hold love even as it changes form.

This book moves through infertility and waiting rooms, through time marked in minutes and months, into the fragile awe of arrival and the ongoing work of loving someone who is always growing. The poems are spare, embodied, and honest-rooted in the body, in memory, and in the small moments that linger long after they pass.

When the World Fit in My Hands does not offer easy answers or neat resolutions. Instead, it sits gently with uncertainty and presence, honoring the ways love exists before certainty, during loss, and long after the moment has passed.

This collection is for readers who have waited, hoped, grieved, and learned how to keep their hands open.
