The Weight of...

The Weight of… is the final instalment in Adriaan van Vuuren’s poetry trilogy. A powerful conclusion to a journey of self-discovery, emotional healing, and honest reflection. Written over the span of three years, this book blends poetry, introspection, and writing prompts to create a deeply immersive and personal experience for the reader.

This is not just a poetry collection. It’s a space to breathe, to feel, and to respond. Selected poems are paired with writing prompts, inviting the reader to pause and reflect not only on Adriaan’s words, but on their own life, emotions, and story.

Whether you’re navigating the complexities of mental health, healing from heartbreak, trying to understand your past, or searching for meaning in the quiet moments of life, The Weight of… creates room for all of it. It holds space for grief and growth, confusion and clarity, and everything in between.

Themes include:
• Mental health and emotional resilience
• Love, loss, and identity
• Self-reflection and healing through writing
• The quiet power of transformation over time

This book is for anyone who wants more than just words on a page. It’s for readers who want to feel seen, who want to engage, and who believe in the healing power of writing.
It stands as a beautiful conclusion to Adriaan’s trilogy, but also as a standalone invitation to anyone ready to begin (or continue) their own journey.

If you’ve ever asked yourself:
“Am I the only one who feels this way?”
This book gently answers: You’re not. And you never were.
