In What I Know of Love I Learned from Grief, V. Walker invites readers into an unflinching exploration of the heart’s most fragile terrain. Spanning over 80 poems and more than a dozen original illustrations, this collection captures the ways grief weaves itself through every corner of our lives.
 
In the loss of a loved one.
In the quiet collapse of a relationship.
In the shedding of an old self. 
Even in the moments when love itself feels too heavy to hold.
 
These poems are not only about sorrow, but about the tenderness that follows: the ways grief shapes us, teaches us, and ultimately makes room for love in new forms. With language that lingers and imagery that cuts to the bone, V. Walker offers a companion for anyone who has carried loss and wondered how to keep going.
 
For those navigating heartbreak, mourning, or the shifting tides of self, What I Know of Love I Learned from Grief is both a mirror and a hand to hold. This collection is a testament to the truth that love and loss are forever entwined.
