0 - Default Title
Description
For readers in search of emotional and spiritual healing, a courageous, gripping memoir of one woman's journey of gradually healing her traumatized memory through poetry, swimming, and the intuited guidance of a spiritual presence named Voice. Words Make a Way through Fire is an intimate, courageous memoir of a woman shattered by witnessing her eldest brother's horrific suicide when she was a teenager. The book traces her creative journey of recovery and healing with poetry as a constant companion. The primary means of Cyra Dumitru's healing process, from age sixteen through adulthood, is writing poetry and journaling. During this decades-long journey, Cyra experiences a transcendent, loving presence called Voice who guides her and helps her imagine wholeness. She finds community with others through the sharing of poems. She studies poetry as craft and as medicine--becoming a published poet with multiple books, an award-winning college instructor of poetry writing, and a certified practitioner of poetic medicine who creates spaces where others can heal through poetry. In Words Make a Way through Fire, Cyra explores the specific medicinal properties of poetry--giving order to interior anxiety, trusting the wisdom within--and invites her brother David to speak through her as he reflects upon his final hours. In doing so, poem by poem, she shifts gradually from being traumatized and feeling haunted to feeling empowered and spiritually expansive.
