The Volcano, Flame, and All I Became: A Poetry Collection on Survival, Grief, Honesty

"You asked me to trust you. So I fell back, intending to land in your arms. But you weren't there, and you let me fall-alone."From the poet of The Moon, The Tide, and All I Tried and The Mirror, The Mask, and All I Ask comes a collection that explores finding your own light.The Volcano, The Flame, and All I Became is a visceral account of displacement, the resilience of the pedestrian life, and the boundaries required to survive betrayal. It covers the literal miles walked through the streets of Salt Lake City, the "masking" required to navigate a neurotypical world, and the "Safety Hazard, M.D.s" who prove that sometimes the person who promised to care is the one who lets you fall.Unfiltered, literal, and at times sharply defiant, this is for anyone who has dragged their suitcases to a new city and is finally ready to find their footing on their own mountain.
