There is no refuge from political jaws who fight for their cause, gather bodies as we begin burial in the ocean. Elder Painter Calamitous (1864-1949), voyager and human rights seeker speaking out on the somber moons that plague workers at the age of tenīending spines of children working overtime unwind into caskets of mothers and fathers cradle deformity.

The slums of brutality that seek our beaten down bodies bleed beyond sorrowful branches. We must remove ourselves from the abyss that makes us feel worthless. Politicians beside greed dancers slither without understanding of our broken world.

It is a powerful self-care focused collection of poems that are all about strength as a female, healing, inspiration, and breaking the molds of time-honored expectations that can be found in fairy tales.Ī note: I do not suggest reading these poems on an ereader, the page turns do not fit well with the layout.ĪRC provided in exchange for an honest review."Demise I witness as dear creatures fade within these ashes, let my wounds not determine my silence. Ultimately, I really enjoyed Wild Embers. I wish some of the first poems, especially those centered around space, would have been dispersed through out the book. It gets repetitive, especially when a couple of the poems sound identical or like extensions of one another. Reading it all in order though? That is something I don't suggest doing. You can pick it up, flip to a page and read something that speaks to you, that moves you, that really means something for you. Wild Embers is a poetry novel that has something for every emotion you may be feeling. It's inspiring and empowering, the kind of rebellious poetry you want to read instead of those poems about being sick for love. They were so powerful and so true, talking of the strength a woman finds to question the trauma and darkness they've endured. I might have cried a bit in the "chapter" that references wolves hidden in your soul.

I really enjoyed the poems about witches, magic, and mythology.

The poems are fairly short and quick, the longest being about the Princesses of fairy tales. Wilder Embers has poetry for the mind and body, giving readers powerful verses about self-love and breaking the chains we've been locked into.
