I'm Celebrating a Book Anniversary

My poetry book is one today 🎉

In this post I’m walking down memory lane and celebrating the first anniversary of my poetry book—Fire And Flourishing!

As I look back my poetry collection feels like a time capsule. I alchemized memories, seasons of my life, and hard-won lessons into a book of poems.

Big Win: The first week my poetry book launched it was given a five star review and featured on Reedsy discovery page 🤩

“Fire and Flourishing by Kassi Wilson is a collection of poems that takes the reader on an adventure through lush imagery of nature, self-awareness, and womanhood.

Each poem follows the journey of a woman discovering herself amid hardship and change, interlaced with depictions of the natural world as the main backdrop to this stunning poetry.

As you delve into the interconnected poems and acquaint yourself with the author's unique style and characters, you will come to cherish the gentle power with which she weaves themes of growth, change, motherhood, and love, always set against the comforting embrace of nature.

This evokes a sense of security and tranquillity, making these themes less daunting and easier to approach and relate to as they mirror women's experiences and emotions.

Overall, this collection of poems is an essential read for women in all stages of life who are going through hardships and experiences that feel isolating or unacknowledged.”

—Excerpt of Review

Prior to launch day, I planned a photo shoot at a local farmer’s market. I wanted to capture my book’s cover and express my personal transformation. A published book is an outpouring of my interior journey—the fires of change and wild bloom on the other side.

Makes a great gift for Mother’s Day!
