ABOUT THE BOOK

Up In Flames is a poetry collection about loving too hard, breaking too quietly, and learning how to rise from the wreckage you never meant to create.

These poems trace the arc of a heart set alight, by passion, grief, healing, rage, hope, and the quiet moments in between. They speak to the kind of love that consumes, the losses that linger, and the rebirth that follows after everything burns down.

This collection does not shy away from hard truths. It explores heavy and intimate themes, including emotional pain, loss, trauma, mental health struggles, and the complicated nature of love and survival. The verses are raw, unfiltered, and deeply personal, written for those who have lived through the fire rather than watched it from a distance.

Up In Flames is for anyone who has loved someone who felt like fire, stayed too long hoping the flames would soften, or burned themselves trying to keep others warm, only to discover that becoming ash is sometimes the first step toward becoming whole.

This is not a book about destruction.
It is a book about what survives it.

Perfect for readers who gravitate toward emotionally honest poetry, quiet reflection, and words that linger long after the page is turned.
