About a month after Donimo's death, Sarah began making comics again as a way to deal with her profound sense of grief and loss. The comics started as small sketches but quickly transformed into something totally unfamiliar to her. Abstract images, textures, poetic text, layers of watercolor, ink, and coloured pencil—for Sarah, the journey through grief was impossible to convey without bold formal experimentation. She spent two years creating these comics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is \u003ci\u003eSomething, Not Nothing\u003c\/i\u003e, an extraordinary book that delicately articulates the vagaries of grief and the sweet remembrances of enduring love. Moving and impressionistic, \u003ci\u003eSomething, Not Nothing\u003c\/i\u003e shows that alongside grief, there is room for peace, joy, and new beginnings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47362997420268,"sku":"9781551529516","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/11030563482740.jpg?v=1772910165"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/sarah-leavitt.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
