Wild Embers: Poems of Rebellion, Fire and Beauty by Nikita Gill

4.0

Great collection of poems, though some were not so memorable. My favorite section is the one where she retells the fairy
tales, and made it so empowering. My most favorite piece and the one that made me pause and teared up a little is the one about Survival.

Everyone you love
is capable of doing
great and terrible things
things you never
thought they could do
when they are clawing,
panicking,
breaking
to survive.
Remember this
when you watch them
at their very worst moments.
And forgive them
their survival too.
