grenade (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798992885569)

a raw and unflinching dissection of a love that shattered like a grenade-

laughton j. collins, jr. maps the explosive aftermath of connection and loss in this piercing collection of poetry-from the intimate silence between two souls to the hollowed-out echoes of faith and memory, these verses explore the shrapnel left behind: love as both salvation and destruction, god as both absent and monstrous, and the self as a ghost haunting its own life-

grenade is not a quiet elegy but a detonation-a testament to enduring the blast and learning to breathe in the devastating, beautiful silence that remains-pull the pin and let it break you open-
