Heavy is the weight of the people, the weight of the world
a world worth living for, a world worth fighting for
a world people died for
It is the weight we bear to carry it
o willingly, o valiantly
till the ends of the ends of the ends.

Heavy Are We is a poetry collection about heartbreak, loneliness and isolation, finding a sense of purpose, but also of hope and struggle for a better future. It contains 24 poems, evoking fantastic elements, historical narratives, reimaginings, and even every day experience of what it is like being a Filipino community organizer.

Charlene H is a writer and a queer Filipino community organizer based in the unceeded and unsurrended Algonquin Anishinaabe Territory, also called Ottawa, Ontario.
