The debut
10 Months of Grief
A poetry collection by Cody Riddle
10 Months of Grief: Poetry on death, grief, and betrayal — a debut poetry collection navigating heartbreak, loss, mental health, and healing from a decade of deeply personal experiences. The kind of book you read once in a single sitting and then again, slower, in the margins of your own life.
From the publisher
"We make small, careful books for the hours when no one is watching — the kind of writing you keep in a coat pocket, beside a window, beneath a candle."
— Cody Riddle
