For the Weeks We Spend in Hell

"For the Weeks We Spend in Hell" is the follow up chapbook to Mikel's debut poetry chapbook, "For the Days We Spend in Hell" released exactly one year ago. A few months after releasing that chapbook, she found that she had more poems to share from that same period in life that also fit the very same theme. This poetry chapbook by Oklahoma poet, artist, and author, Mikel Maureé Robinson, is just as much an extraordinary collection of her poetic art as the first one, written over the course of several years and a testament to the difficulties of modern life. Filled with beautiful metaphors and vivid imagery, this continued roller coaster of emotions takes readers through the dark depths of depression, anxiety, and intrusive thoughts, giving them solace in knowing that they are not alone in their struggles.
Written in response to the isolation of the pandemic and her own self-destructive behavior, Robinson's poetry provides a beacon of hope for those mired in darkness. It is an expression of self-therapy that guides her own journey toward self-love. Through raw honesty and evocative language, she invites readers to find comfort in her art... and strength in their own lives.
