Discover the poignant reflections of Aiken Dao in his first poetry collection, "Hey December." This book delves into the depths of memory, homecoming, and the bittersweet passage of time through the lens of the year's final month. Aiken takes readers on a heartfelt journey from the enchantment of childhood Decembers, filled with snow, cherished traditions, and family warmth, to the complex emotions of adulthood, where the simple joys of the past become distant memories.

As life propels him forward, away from the familiar comforts of home in pursuit of dreams and ambitions, Aiken contemplates the essence of home, belonging, and the sacrifices made for a greater purpose. "Hey December" is not just a collection of poems but a reflection on life's fleeting nature, the pursuit of happiness, and the quest for meaning amidst the inevitable changes.

Through his evocative poetry, Aiken explores the significance of the connections we cherish, the concept of home that evolves with us, and the relentless search for fulfilment. Join him on this introspective journey as he seeks to uncover the truths hidden within the days of December, offering readers a glimpse into the profound mysteries of life and the beauty of rediscovering what truly matters.
