This job takes pieces. This is what's left. The Silence We Carry is a raw and haunting collection of poems that gives voice to the unseen battles of first responders and the quiet ache of survival. Told through symbolic personas - like the Grim Reaper, the Guardian Angel, the Fixer, and the Last Voice - this book weaves a round-table narrative of grief, trauma, and the fragile thread of hope. With unflinching honesty and hard-won tenderness, Hanna Spanyer invites readers to sit with the weight of loss, the ghosts we live with, and the light that still manages to break through.
