The Weight of Drought explores forms of grief through the internalization of experience and wanders further to wonder if the past is too far away to fix the present while also serving as a love letter to Nebraska. This collection offers a millennial voice within poetry--a voice that not only subverts the norm of what poetry is but defies the stereotypes of a region, offering connection through grief, love, and place--to experience a somewhere which we have never been.
