“I have known Death. I have seen her close-up and personal, and not once has she been an enemy.”—Rickey K. Hood, The Weight of Memory

Vernetta Holliman

A beautifully written book that takes readers on a poetic journey through the many faces of life. I can relate to many of the author's stories and would highly recommend this book to anyone. It will leave you reflecting on how precious moments pass and can never be seen, touched, or heard again.

The author explores the resilience of the human spirit as we navigate a world filled with confusion, uncertainty, and the realities of everyday life

The Weight of Memory: A Journey Through Grief and Spirit by Rickey K. Hood is a powerful and deeply reflective collection that blends poetry and personal reflection with honesty and emotional depth. Hood explores grief, love, memory, spirituality, and healing with a voice that feels intimate, compassionate, and authentic.

The writing is thoughtful and moving, inviting readers to reflect on their own experiences of loss, connection, and survival. It is a heartfelt and memorable work.
