Forged in Fire | Held in Love Book Release
READING | $10 // $20 // $30 | ALL AGES | Join us in celebrating the release of Forged in Fire | Held in Love — a collection born from the ashes of injustice and shaped by the warmth of community.

Featuring a powerful art installation on beauty through pain, live performances by NOMAD the Poet, and opening words from Camari Hawkins of Mama's Kitchen Press.
Book description: Forged in Fire | Held in Love is a transformative poetry collection that provides readers with a blueprint and firsthand account of what healing truly looks and feels like, resonating with anyone who is navigating their own healing journey. Specifically tailored for women, BIPOC individuals, the LGBTQIA+ community, people with disabilities, and trauma survivors, Forged in Fire | Held in Love fearlessly addresses a wide spectrum of traumas that include generational, familial, systemic, childhood, sexual, and racial experiences. It serves as a war cry for liberation, speaking directly to burdened souls, inquisitive minds, generational cycle breakers, and those brave enough to embark on unconventional paths.
