Hymns for the Hollow is a poetic manifesto for the outcasts, the dreamers, and the beautifully broken. Written in electric free verse and charged with raw emotion, this collection takes you on a fever-dream journey through self-destruction and survival, pain and reinvention, mythology and modern pop glamour.
If you dance in the dark with a queer heart, if you find poetry in the wreckage, or if your candle's wick has burned to its end, these poems were made for you. Adam James Zahren creates a world where vulnerability is power, transformation is inevitable, and survival becomes its own art form.
Infused with the spirit of iconic women of pop culture, Hymns for the Hollow pulses with allusions at the shimmering edge of art, mythology, and the surreal. These poems don't just whisper-they scream, they sing, they burn, demanding to be felt.
If you've ever felt lost or longing, let this book be your soundtrack home. You don't have to click your heels-just surrender to the storm and let it take you where you belong.
