Publisher's Summary

These Hands That Hold The World is a collection that deals with mortality, grief, and other matters of life.

Through a mix of poetry and prose, Okoye expresses emotions of love and loss in a simple yet vulnerable way, sharing pieces of a broken heart while whispering to the listener that they are not alone.

It is a brave polyphony of darkness and light and hope and heartache written in a language every soul understands.

Trigger warnings for self-harm, suicide, and sexual content. If you are comfortable with these topics, you will certainly appreciate this volume.
