The Hollow Wore My Name: Words of Love, Loss, and the Imposter within
Buy now on:
How do you love when you're afraid of being seen?
How do you father children who inherit your ghosts?
How do you just be yourself when you hardly know who that is?
The Hollow Wore My Name is a haunting and lyrical journey through the inner chambers of a man who has spent a lifetime wearing the armor of success while crumbling beneath the weight of self-doubt. Behind tailored suits and polished speeches lives a man with Imposter Syndrome, a heart steeped in vodka and silence, and a soul haunted by the people he hurt and sons who mirror his unhealed wounds
With the musical undercurrents of Stevie Wonder, the gothic introspection of Poe, walking the crossroads of Frost and the raw honesty of a man confronting himself in the mirror, this anthology of poems speaks to anyone who has loved imperfectly, performed their way through life, or wondered if redemption is still possible.
This is not a book of answers.
This is a confession in verse.
A requiem for who he could have been
And a fragile offering to who he still might become.
A personal glimpse into the mind

"The Hollow Wore My Name is a deeply moving story that explores pain, unanswered questions, and the quiet strength of love. The author beautifully captures the emptiness that follows loss and the emotional weight of carrying wounds that never fully fade.
What makes this book powerful is its honesty—there is no easy resolution, only raw emotion and the enduring presence of love beneath the hurt. It’s a haunting yet tender read that lingers in the heart long after the final page."
A must read!!

"The Hollow Wore My Name is a hauntingly gripping thriller that digs deep into the darkness of grief, trauma,The story leans heavily into identity and inner emptiness, and that theme lingers longer than the actual plot events. It’s the kind of book that makes you pause and reflect instead of rushing to the next chapter for action. . Every poem pulled me into a different emotion, from joy to reflection to healing"
