Description
The First Flame is a poetry collection forged in fire-raw, luminous, and unafraid. With every page, it sings the story of the one who came first. The daughter who bore weight before she had language for it. The woman who ignited change without a map. The soul who survived the fire and came out glowing. In these verses, the flame is not just a metaphor-it is a living, breathing presence. It crackles with duty, rebellion, legacy, and liberation. From the quiet pressure of eldest-daughterhood to the wild shedding of expectations, each poem is a spark: sharp, sudden, and necessary. The voice in this collection is bold and contemporary-at times gentle, at times feral. It speaks to every woman who has ever been told to dim down, fall in line, or carry more than her share. And it honors her for daring to do otherwise. For the firstborns, the firestarters, the ones who burn and rise again-this book is yours.
