Remnants of Despair

Remnants of Despair is the second volume in the Great Nordic Poetry – collection. This second volume is written by the young and talented Nordic author, Helene Thybo Jørgensen.

“Remnants of Despair” by Helene Thybo Jørgensen is a poetry collection about queer love and the challenges one encounters along the way.

NOTE: Since the book is printed on demand, you can expect a longer delivery time.

It binds together the raw emotions of passion, love, panic, and grief into one book. It’s about meeting the right person at the wrong time. It’s about meeting a person you see through rose-tinted glasses, and whom you know will leave you to collect the fragments of the person you once were.

Writing the book has helped the author through break-ups, and the hope is that it can also help the reader. In a time where mental health is more important than ever, the book aims to provide insight into how young people feel and help navigate the world of love.
