This collection began in the aftermath of trauma. Written across years of healing, these poems chronicle a life interrupted at thirteen by sexual violence and reshaped by survival. What was once girlhood was burned away too soon, leaving silence, rage, and the long shadow of memory. Yet from that ruin, something endured. Each chapter unfolds like a body tempered by fire-grief turned to grit, fracture turned to form. Through unflinching honesty and lyrical force, these poems trace the violent transformation from innocence to endurance, from devastation to self-reclamation, from the ashes of a wounded child to the rise of a man forged in flame. Tender yet unyielding, What Fire Made Of Me invites readers into the darkness-and into the hard-won light that followed. © 2026 CrimsonMourningSky. All rights reserved.

Writing is a terrifying act of creation that requires us to push past the fear of being known and bare our souls to others. It gives us a glimpse into our multifaceted lives, both as writers who share their stories and as readers who bring their own unique experiences to what they read. Writing serves as a beautiful connection to each other and our world. This collection of poetry and prose is intended for those of us who feel we have lost our connections and sometimes feel a little less than human because of it.
