In life, we tend to hold on to pain, loss, the past, relationships, love, and so on. "Holding On" is a collection of poems centered on the idea of just that. In their debut poetry collection, Winter tackles these feelings with a patient and pensive perspective. Journey through the pages and discover what you may have been holding on to.

"I'm not haunted, more like inhabited

Spirits of you walking the halls of my temple, simply radiant

That's why I'm hesitant to expel you

Compelled to love your ghost as a host to the remains of her love

Holding on to this husk of us, dust filling the cracks of my hands..."
