THE DIAGRAM OF HOPE

The Diagram of Hope is a fiercely tender and urgent collection that delineates the difficult geometry of healing across three phases: global catastrophe, familial grief, and the painstaking work of becoming. Abdulmajid Haruna artfully melds narrative force with lyric intensity, tackling heavy subjects like anxiety, academic failure, and immense personal loss with brave honesty. These poems refuse to flatten the ache, instead teaching the reader that hope is a practical tool—a diagram drawn with broken instruments—that allows one to endure trauma, seek connection, and move toward repair without sacrificing the truth of the struggle.
