A Handful of Fears Held Together By A Few Joys is a small collections of poems and short stories created over the course of the last four years of my life. The themes mostly include tragedy, recollection, understanding, struggle, resentment, and (of course) a few joyful scenarios. This collection was mainly published as a facet of personal reflection, but I feel the themes covered in the book may be more universal and relatable to a wider audience.
