Share This
Description
For the moments that cleave a life into two eras: the time before, and the time after.
The First Flower After the Fire is a companion for the quiet journey through the aftermath of a shattering event. It is a collection of poetry that speaks to the moments that feel unspeakable -- the initial shock, the haunting echoes, the slow mending of the scars, and the gentle return of the light.
This book is not a guide with easy answers. It is a quiet room, a validation of your pain, and a testament to the profound strength found in resilience. Journey through four distinct parts:
•
I. The Shattering: Witness the moment the world breaks and the self becomes a stranger.
•
II. The Echoes: Navigate the minefield of memory, hyper-vigilance, and the ghosts that linger.
•
III. The Scars: Explore the difficult, patient work of healing and learn to see scars not as flaws, but as proof of survival.
•
IV. The Light: Arrive at a place of hope, reconnection, and the quiet, stubborn strength it takes to simply be.
If you are searching for a language for your own experience, or seeking to understand the heart of a loved one, this collection offers a hand in the dark. The First Flower After the Fire is an unflinching, compassionate, and ultimately hopeful book of poetry about trauma, for anyone who is learning to be home in their own body again.
Find a reflection of your own story, and begin the journey today.
