Description

For lovers of raw and defiant inner truths, Sadia Hakim offers a visual poetry book that feels like a soul remembering itself — wounded, watchful, and unapologetically human.

This debut collection blends confessional and journal-style reflections with psychological depth, exploring themes of rage, trauma, tender things that make life worth living, and the sacred discomfort of self-confrontation. The weight of Tender Things is for those who feel everything, who read between the lines, who sense the unspoken, and who have learned to stand firm in a world that often demands their softness without offering safety. It is not just visual poetry. It is a confession. A mirror to the parts of you that have been silenced, mishandled, or seen as too much.

“No one can tell what’s inside them. Hearts are heavier than the earth and deeper than the oceans.”

— Sadia Hakim

This is a fully colored special edition paperback thoughtfully designed as both a visual and emotional experience. Each page invites interaction, whether through highlighting, annotations, or simply pausing to absorb the art and words. It’s more than a book. It’s a keepsake for those who want to make it uniquely their own.
